For the past few days, telling Netsurf to go to http://google.co.uk
results in an endless loop and no joy. What's this all about?
The Netsurf URL bar changes from what I typed to this:
http://www.google.co.uk/#spf=1569197185001
The 13-digit number keeps changing, and the hourglass keeps running.
With or without Javascript enabled.
Was using Netsurf #4845 when this phenomenon began. Downloaded #4850 just
now, but still no joy.
https://duckduckgo.com/html/search continues to work with no prob.
So what is Google playing at?
Is a fix likely for Netsurf?

Without JS enabled I'm not sure. With JS enabled it's a performance issue.
I cannot replicate it on my laptop because it's so much faster than any RISC OS
system, but I believe it'll be due to some JS trying to work stuff out and
failing because it's too slow. I will attempt to root out the problem
but it's quite possible I won't be able to for a week or more. We're aware
of it as https://bugs.netsurf-browser.org/mantis/view.php?id=2702

#4850 is OK here with Javascript disabled as checked on a Titanium,
Raspberry Pi Mk1, and RPCEmu.
The recent 3.9 release is OK with Javascript enabled.

I can confirm...
#4850 with Javascript enabled, google.co.uk doesn't work.
With Javascript disabled, google does work okay.

You're right!
Sure makes one wish for that "Javasccript on/off" button on the Netsurf
button bar that we've oft wished for! (Ancient Fresco had one, could
pinch the icon from Fresco.) So much handier than repetitititive trips to
iconbar Choices > Content > Disable Javascript > Set.
Have never found a way of programming Keystroke to do this. If anyone has
succeeded, please export the relevant Keystroke Selection file & share it.
Or a "switch" that could be added to an URL file to set Javascript off,
when relevant to that particular URL, as in this case.
And thanks for looking into the problem, Daniel.

Must confess I've tried with Keystroke a lot of times but never succeeded.

The only way to keep the JS setting on screen as a button is to
1. open choices
2. open content
3. minimise/put configuration on the iconbar
4. toggle JavaScript
5. click Set with Adjust
6. goto 4

Please remember that there is no RISC OS front end maintainer for
NetSurf anymore - nobody is working on the RISC OS front end beyond
making it build with core changes. If anyone wants to volunteer for
this please step forward! Some people have expressed interest in the
past but have either vanished or discovered they did not have the spare
time they thought.

Titanium here, JS enabled - works but vv slow with Netsurf 4851 and the
previous version I had installed, 4845.

Actually, I may have to take that back - although it certainly worked in
4845, it eventually had a problem in 4851 - it just prints the JS to the
NS window, along with the text normally displayed on the page.
Neither version displays the Google Doodle wither, just a pink rectangle
which is a .png file.
