It can be browsed but to contact the seller you seem to need JS.

Author here. I agree that you cannot go from HTML to XHTML because users and UA devs will always go towards "it mostly works". However, I don't see it that clearly that this cannot be done since the start so that the expectat

The Google index is still accessible from many other "proxy search engines" that still work without JS, one example is Startpage. See the nice list from Seirdy for more details on search engines: https://seirdy.one&#x2F

Ahh, I see. Yes, I also see it sometimes, for those cases the "Mimic Chrome" workaround usually fixes it. I assume is a side effect of abusive crawlers compounded with Dillo headers not being very common.

There are no special rules against modern browsers. Can you reproduce it systematically?, if so, any chances you can paste the HTTP headers? In any case, apart from our cgit instance we have mirrors in Codeberg and SourceHut: - https:&#x2F

Amazing that the minimal version works in Dillo, except for the categories menu which uses JS (using a form and submit button inside a noscript tag would work as a fallback).

Thanks a lot for considering no-JS browser like Dillo, in the current web hellscape is certainly a difficult task. I checked and it works well in Dillo on my end.

Yes, we did some experiments with pledge and landlock, but we need to redesign some parts to be able to properly isolate them into separate processes first. In the short term you can disable CSS or images from the menu. You can also disable

Yes, but all those services have the same main problem: a single point of failure. They also don't work offline. I believe that storing the issues in plain text in git repositories synced across several git servers is more robust and f

In 2007 it was moved to Mercurial which I then exported to git when the hg server went down. The history from 2002-2007 was lost (I believe SVN), if someone still has a copy please send it to us. See the missing section: https://
