@ohir I agree that a browser doesn't need all the fancy bells and whistles. But when it struggles to render a very basic and, by design, very simple HTML page - then the bar for a MVP is set too low.
LWN is appreciated by lots of readers for being lightweight and avoid all the fancy web features so it renders well on most devices. And that's the level Jon Corbet is aiming for on that site. So it is a pretty good check to see how well a minimalistic browser engine works.
And that's why I say NetSurf is not ready for primetime yet. But it may get there. And I hope it will improve with time.
