I need to remember where the tables are, if my info is in a list, if I already visted a link.
What about if I do research?

You can arrow up and down and read the screen line by line, or you can read sentence by sentence (like in all apps), you can put Jaws to read the whole page, or paragraph by paragraph, you can tab to jump to the next link (or shift+Tab to the previous). Nobody forces you to use some hotkeys, but if you visit a page permanently, then those hotkeys are very helpful.

We don't, we use our screenreader (in my case braille driver) to read the page with its cursor.

Well, it seems that the accessibility under linux depends much on Braille, which I don't know, so...
(Because speakup also doesn't offer those features that Jaws offers).

And javascript, yes a bit of a problem and hopefully there will be a solution soon.

No it won't be any solution sooner or later, because lynx is not developed anymore for a long time. The solution would be a graphical interface under Linux, with a good screen reading support, but as I already said, I don't care about the future. I care much more about the present time. If Linux would be as good as Windows for what I need, I would happily pass to Linux, because I need to make programs for this OS anyway.
