I do not like any of the JavaScript-supporting web browsers

But unfortunately, a very big part of the internet needs JavaScript nowadays, including websites that I have to use...

Web browsers that I have used:
- lynx (terminal-only) - Good for accessing internet when X11 is unavailable; it also supports Gopher!
- links (both terminal and X11; no CSS)
- dillo (graphical) - My favourite, it's both graphical and very fast. It can do some CSS, but it looks really broken for most websites. I got used to it. Reasonable trade-off between being fast and light-weight and doing some CSS, in my opinion. My main browser for old machines where Firefox is horribly slow.
- netsurf (graphical) - Looks nicer than any of the others, lots of CSS support, but also it's slow. Multiple seconds to render a Wikipedia page sometimes... Refreshing to see the beautiful CSS after staring at completely broken websites all day long in another browser, though

No JavaScript in any of these. (NetSurf has experimental JavaScript support, but I tried it for a few websites such as web.archive.org and Wikipedia, and it doesn't work there.)

If you need JavaScript, your only options are Google or Firefox...

@vaporeon_ as a JavaScript enjoyer it is painful that the ecosystem is heavily-dependent on Google's JavaScript engine
