Ha! That's in line with an idea I'm considering - a modern HTML-only browser. A bit like one of those terminal browsers, but with nice proportional fonts, images and other basic things. Customizable entirely up to likings of a user. A user agent, not a webdev agent. It could also support Gopher protocol. CSS got out of control, so sorry no more position:fixed bars that are more and more in fashion.
Ech. But first I need to get back to work on a search engine that would _not_ index ad serving pages with possible option of filtering out JS serving pages.

I already use duckduckgo and fall back to !g, I'd love to try an ad/bloat-filtering search engine first, and fall back to ddg and google from there.
As for filtering JS, I guess the main point for me whether it uses JS to render anything in the first place, or just to enhance. E.g. even HN has some Javascript, but it's fully usable without.
