Lynx is a web browser in command line terminal. That means, even in the Ubuntu command line terminal, you can still surf internet and view websites. Lynx is not installed by default during Ubuntu installation. You need to manually install lynx using apt-get install or aptitude install.
Here is an example of lynx installation using apt-get install lynx command:
luzar@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install lynx
[sudo] password for luzar:
