Text-based[1] web-browsers (such as Lynx, Links2, etc.) are much simpler than 'normal' browsers, so could they be affected by Meltdown and Spectre? Are there any news on security issues for text-based browsers related to such attacks?

P.S.: I use Links browser in graphics mode as default browser on my PC, and this post also submitted throw it ;-)
