This is one reason why I have long waited for some simple and lightweight open source browser with support to (and only to) CSS and possibly some Javascript.

Have been monitoring Dillo with interest though it isn't quite there yet!

My temptation is to run it OpenBSD or similar. A secure browser is great but it does need to sit on a secure foundation!
