NetSurf basicly only supports HTML and CSS2 (with some portion of CSS3, but far from being complete or on par with Webkit or GECKO). Indeed lynx is a better choice in most cases. Still, there is quite a lot of overengineered websites that require JS (one of the sites I have to use regularly uses JS cookies for session stuff), and neither lynx nor NetSurf are of any use there. FWIW there still quite a lot of browser-specific quirks here and there, even including browser-specific tags, which defeats the very idea of suckless rendering engine. ---- Dmitrij D. Czarkoff
