Sorry, I responded to the wrong person.


web components are standard, and have been for a long while. Virtually no one uses lynx, and it's not anyone else's fault that lynx has lagged on implementing long-existing web standards.


If anyone gets here confused, I left this comment above because I mistook who I was replying to:

I’m curious: does it work in Lynx[0]? I assume no because there’s no executed javascript, which is required to register the component as far as I know.

It’s worth stating the point in a different way. Even one person using such a browser “matters”, in a way, and it’s good to be kind when one can.

(Apologies if this comes off as harsh; however, it does seem to me that the other commenter has a point, at least in their second comment.)

“Virtually no one” does sound a lot like someone. Per this point of “browsers that matter”, many people will also say “accessibility matters”. Support of Lynx is a worthwhile goal in regard to web accessibility, in no small part because it does not execute javascript.
