Game over. There are only 2.5 "popular" and "usuable" open source www engines,
webkit, blink (webkit-ish) and gecko.
Those are far beyond the limit of sanity as those are brain damaged c++
object-oriented massive kludge.

As I said before, after a little chat with one of the main netsurf dev, the
current complexity of the web is due to javascript/the dynamic dom.

I would rather define which www sites are "critical" and go push hard for a
0-javascript basic html www portal and/or a *simple* web API (not OAuth which
requires the use of one of the previous www renderers). I'll go to trial if I'm
ignored.
