NetSurf, the small and efficient browser for RISC OS, Haiku, AmigaOS 4, and obscure platforms you’ve probably never heard of like “Linux” and “macOS” has seen a new release – version 3.11. NetSurf is written in C and has its own browser engine – it’s not based on Google’s browser engines, Chromium and Firefox’ Gecko/Quantum.
NetSurf 3.11 features improved page layout with CSS flex support. It also features many other optimisations and enhancements.

It’s an obvious upgrade for everyone who uses NetSurf, since if you’re using NetSurf, odds are the platform you’re using it on doesn’t really offer many alternatives.
Delightful. ill try it when i get home
Very impressive software, kudos to the developers!
Although no JavaScript/WebAssembly does not allow me using it for my web applications. Else I would use it as standard browser.
This is great news! I’ve been waiting in a new release for a few years. It’s a great browser and I think the lack of JS is an asset. Most websites I visit are still usable without it.
teco.sb,
Obviously JS comes with both good and bad, I’d actually like more control over it than firefox offers, but it’s too important for me personally to daily drive a browser without it.
Even more than the uMatrix plugin? Or NoScript?
cb88,
Well, maybe you can help, but when I used noscript in the past the granularity wasn’t what I wanted.
Blocking javascripts based on a URL isn’t very helpful because very often both desired and undesired functionality comes from the same source. Sometimes I want to be able to block javascript execution but only after a page finishes loading or those that trigger on certain timer/DOM/mouse/etc events. Some websites use javascript to popup blur CSS overlays, interfere with scrolling, etc. I never want to see websites popup divs when I mouse out of a window.
I’m not sure if extensions have the ability to monitor/block such fine grained events. I suspect they might be all or nothing.
i haaave always found yesscript extension more useful than noscript
NaGERST,
Haven’t tried that one yet. I can’t tell if it’s working, but I’ll try to remember to give it a shot next time I come across a nuisance JS site.
I wonder if it is still built without enabling DukType Javascript library?
There is some code related to DukType Javascript library but I don’t know how it goes.
