To the OP : both sites (and the links under "Drivers") work with
Elinks as far as I can see.

I must say, it baffles me that Lynx continues to get more
mentions than Elinks, Links and W3m together even though they
render HTML at least as well and usually better that Lynx. Or
have things changed in recent years ?

Actually not as well or better, depending on the task.
Lynx is updated regularly, which may be part of why you hear about it with greater frequency. Plug in aspects like html5 in some distributions, the ability to manage script buttons sometimes too if the button is well created
.
Links is no longer updated, does not even support cookies.
e-links has not been updated for a while, while lynx was updated a few months ago.
