NetSurf basicly only supports HTML and CSS2 (with some portion of CSS3, but
far from being complete or on par with Webkit or GECKO). Indeed lynx is a
better choice in most cases.
Still, there is quite a lot of overengineered websites that require JS (one
of the sites I have to use regularly uses JS cookies for session stuff),
and neither lynx nor NetSurf are of any use there.
FWIW there still quite a lot of browser-specific quirks here and there,
even including browser-specific tags, which defeats the very idea of
suckless rendering engine.
