> at least as well as something that does not support javascript can

Not related to Netsurf (which I learned about yesterday while reading about Duktape — a HN coincidence), but recently I went back to using Firefox with JS off as default (using uBlock Origin in advanced user mode) and it's... surprisingly OK? I remember having more trouble in the past.

- Less websites are breaking. Maybe I now have better browsing habits and a better instinct for when a website needs special treatment?

- Enabling JS for an specific website feels easier than doing in same in pre-WebExtensions API NoScript ever felt.

This response is from Chrome on Android, but I've been using NetSurf for many years on Linux and I've never had a crash so far as I remember.
