lynx: Apply restrictions for anonymous account.
$ lynx -anonymous ${example-com}
try on your machine

The command "lynx -anonymous ${example-com}" is used to open a webpage anonymously in the Lynx web browser.

Explanation:

  • "lynx" is a command-line web browser that allows browsing the internet using a terminal or console interface.
  • "-anonymous" is an option that enables anonymous browsing mode in Lynx. This means that Lynx will not send any identifying information, such as cookies or user agent strings, when accessing the webpage.
  • "${example-com}" is a placeholder representing the URL of the webpage you want to visit anonymously. You need to replace it with the actual URL of the webpage you want to open.

When you run this command, Lynx will launch and load the specified webpage in anonymous mode, allowing you to navigate, view, and interact with the content of the webpage while maintaining your anonymity.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
