it could be cheap and useful to just record every URL visited,
appended to a file one per line, no forms or uploads.  i'm not sure
if elinks has this feature now, but it has had a scripting-language
called lua for a long time, and elinks didn't even have to be changed
in any way to get this feature, just a few lines of lua.

~/.lynx-history

as it contains URLs, not HTML, it doesn't need the .html suffix.
