even Wikipedia times out now
by Jim Nagel
It seems that Netsurf now times out even for Wikipedia.
Try this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fritzing
Hourglass goes on forever, though it least it does not tie up the
whole machine.
Go to Netsurf iconbar choices, Content, Disable Javascript,
and try the Wikipedia page again. Now it loads no problem.
(Netsurf #2964 on Iyonix with Ro 5.18)
Anybody else see the same behaviour?
I notice that the Choices file (which results from changing something
in the Netsurf configuration) no longer stores the Javascript setting
-- it's on by default, and that's that. I'm pretty sure that in the
past, the Choices file contained a line enable_javascript:1 (or 0).
If I'm right, when did this change take place? What's the reasoning?
It would sure be handy to have a keyboard shortcut to switch
Javascript on and off!

New Netsurf - improved Javascript stability
by Dave Higton
I downloaded the latest CI build of NS yesterday. There hasn't been one
for quite a while. I noticed that it doesn't crash when opening a sport
page of the BBC News website, for example. This is a big improvement.
I think we're seeing evidence of big changes within Netsurf.
