The thing is I was about to build my own browser with netsurf components (but probably with my own toolkit)... then I stumbled upon the fact that it won't help much more than to use links or lynx since sites are getting javascript-walled. At best I would get a CSS renderer, coded in plain and simple C99+.
Since Big Tech controls the software to access their online service, they will give hell to any promising real-life alternative.
To say that the only sane way out of this, is not even coding a plain and simple C99+ real-life javascript web engine, but ensure by law/regulation that all "utility/critical" sites have a working and sane noscript/basic (x)html portal (as 100% of them had a few years ago...............)
