A Text-Based WWW Browser

Edit Package lynx

Lynx is an easy-to-use browser for HTML documents and other Internet
services like FTP, telnet, and news. Lynx is fast. It is purely text
based and therefore makes it possible to use WWW resources on text
terminals.

Lynx is a console-based, text-mode web browser, yet attempting to install this package via zypper (even with -no-recommends) garners me The following 18 NEW packages are going to be installed: desktop-file-utils feh hicolor-icon-theme imlib2-loaders libIex-3_2-31 libIlmThread-3_2-31 libImlib2-1 libOpenEXR-3_2-31 libOpenEXRCore-3_2-31 libXinerama1 libdeflate0 libheif1 libid3tag0 libjpeg-turbo libjxl0_10 libturbojpeg0 libwebpdemux2 lynx What is going on here? If I wanted image viewers, icons, or desktop config files, I would install Firefox, X (or Wayland) and all that other stuff, but I actually simply want a TEXT-MODE browser for viewing simple html (local and remote) on a non-GUI server system.

Any chance of that, short of building my own package?
