It is useless. Most users already know how to follow a link, because everybody uses Web browsers nowadays. And this text wastes two valuable lines on the About screen. I think the About screen is not crowded. People know how to follow a link graphically, but on a tty they might not know how, and they might not be sure these are links. This message makes people certain of that. We may as well keep it.
