   For how much of my life can I replace Firefox with Netsurf? Has Netsurf gotten any better since the last time I used it? Are there any other browsers I should consider?

     If network operations were non-blocking I think Netsurf would be fine for my needs for like 70% of my day.

     What's Dillo look like these days?

     Netsurf *nearly* passes acid2. Dillo absolutely fails it.

     That's to be expected.

     Dillo is honestly really pleasant to use. It has tabs, it loads images. It tells me when there's content it can't display.

     Aside from the fact that I can't upload images, I think it's solid.

     Now, I have no intention of making Dillo my primary web browser.

     But, I'd probably be happier if I did!

     Dillo looks great, honestly.

     Minimal css support, no JS, blazing fast.

     I can browse with brutaldon.

     I can even post from brutaldon! I can't submit attachments though. It gives me an "https query truncated" error and doesn't work. So I'll have to switch back to netsurf, or move back to firefox if I'm sharing images.

     Other than that, though, dillo is Shockingly fast.

     I mean... I've done goofier things in the name of mental health. Maybe I only need the bits of the web Dillo can show me.

     @dillo It looks like the wayback machine does work if you visit it directly. The other issues I'm seeing appear to be IA issues, not dillo issues.

     @ajroach42 that looks like 3.0.5, which is a decade old. See:

     @ajroach42 I use wayback-classic.net as an interface for the WaybackMachine on even JS-compliant browsers, because it's so much faster!

     It looks like a 403. Looks like their no-JS version is offline after the hack.
