Thanks for the replies. Your previous reply was very informative.
I was actually interested in using this in older machines, a simple text interface with Youtube that could be used to download videos (in a selected quality) so they could be played in the pc (using Mplayer or Quickview), would certainly alleviate the issue with ads and such. I don't know if Lynx already gives us that, but I am assuming Javascript could be an issue.
