Hello,
You could start to make lynx more friendly by 
setting the show_cursor option either in the configuration file or
on the command line.
You can also set the option 
links_are_numbered sothat a link is shown like [1] first link
[2] second link etc.
I am using speech not braille, but this might help.
regards, Willem
