Lynx was created in 1992 at the University of Kansas by a team led by Lou Montulli. It was initially developed to distribute campus information and quickly became popular for its ability to access the web through a text-only interface, making it useful for users with limited graphical capabilities or those requiring a keyboard-driven browsing experience.
