lynx has an html5 plug in.
Perhaps if you actually did research instead of generalizing about what
exists you would know as much.
Further there are research articles here.

which explain that sites following web standards are to be browser
agnostic.
I have no idea who "people," are, my experiences on a computer, like your
own, begin and end with what I can personally do within the confines of my
own physical body.
Bret indicated he knew of no dos browser capable of working on the
Internet..so I suggested one.

I suppose what confuses me is the idea that one cannot do much in dos on

understanding that the <spelling> Arachnid browser for dos supports
JavaScript just fine, although I have not used it directly.
Arachne has some support for JavaScript, but it takes more than just
that. Current web standards include HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. I'm
not aware of any DOS browser supporting HTML5, or supporting CSS at
all, and JavaScript is a moving target that is still evolving.
If you can meet your needs using DOS to reach the Internet, more power to you.
If you need to do what people currently think of as accessing the
Internet and web browsing, DOS is not what you use. It simply can't
do what is required, and will never be able to. DOS originated on
hardware a tiny fraction of the power of current devices, and the
stuff that can do what is needed requires more powerful gear that DOS
does not support.
When I got FreeDOS up on an ancient notebook, I didn't even try to
access the internet from it. That was something else's job. and the
notebook multibooted and I had Win2K Pro and a couple of flavors of
Linux as well as FreeDOS. (And even connected via CAT5 cable to my
router, Internet access left a lot to be desired from Windows or
Linux. The box was hobbled by low RAM and IDE4 drive. It was
strictly a test bed to see what performance I could wring out of
limited hardware without throwing money at it, and actual work was
done elsewhere.
