I smiled when I saw that a javascript browser has no javascript support. :)

I like it. I tend to usually remove the style when I read longer documents. This is prettier while doing the same thing.

What are your next goals with it?

Thanks for your feedback :) I also have an issue with the explosion of 'designs' in the web and this is my first tentative at imagining what a 'sober' web could look like.

I think that to be useful to have predefined template per style of pages. For example for now the hacker news page do not render correctly, and I should add a 'Link List' template.

I could also improve the content detection. On some site it still do not catch all the main article / or catch some ads.

I should also fix some bugs first (as I rush it, it really need more polish).

Actually, since javascript has an eval function, shouldn't it be straightforward to support it in the browser?

Straight-up eval() would be the most blatant case of a remote code execution vulnerability the web has ever seen. I don't think it's easy or even possible to build a foolproof sandbox out of eval(). And even then you open yourself to a denial of service since you cannot interrupt the eval().

I think it would still be non-trivial as event bindings, DOM bindings and others things would not work out of the box. It's a super neat idea though.

Actually the non-js part is here by choice. The goal is to do a browser that let you only read things, not interacting, and no distractions.
