Your link to elinks is dead.
ELinks itself appears dead as well.
Consider the following:
-
- Latest stable is 0.11.7 (22 August 2009; 8 years ago), latest preview is 0.12pre6 (30 October 2012; 5 years ago);
-
- On 17 March 2017, OpenBSD removed ELinks from its ports tree, citing concerns with security issues and lack of responsiveness from the developers;
-
- Some support for ECMAScript by using Mozilla's SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine;
-
- SpiderMonkey surely had security fixes since 30 October 2012; 5 years ago;
5 years is a long time in software land. I don't think this software should be used anymore, by you or anyone else. I don't think this software should be recommended anymore. If you recommend it, at least be clear about the above.
What I would recommend as alternative? I'm not aware of a CLI browser supporting JavaScript. Links removed their SpiderMonkey code from its tree because it was out of date.

That's really helpful context, thank you. So what I've done is actually just replace the link to this issue!
There is also Lynx
