Yeah, that's totally impractical, that's why NoScript exists.

That is my screenshot of using UZBL watching youtube videos.

Looks like the last release of uzbl was almost 3 years ago.

For a text browser, I like elinks.

On the question of javascript, in Opera I can dis-/en-able it with F12 and a mouse-click.

In isolation that's pretty meaningless -- it is hardware-dependent so you use it to compare different browsers on the same machine.

It is also worth noting that it is a google site so it may not be entirely neutral.

It is system-dependent, so you can only compare browsers on the same system. It does NOT take into account the effect of NoScript, because only one script is running on that particular site. On most sites, tens of advertising scripts are running unless NoScript prevents it. Thus the benchmark is mostly useless.

EDIT: Well, I say "my own" theme but it's really just the "Numix" theme with the colours and borders changed so it matches with the Adwaita GTK theme and the panel...

pretty nice. How do you manage to get the sound icon into tint2?

Agreed on dillo. Very fast and light, and a bonus that it doesn't require gtk or qt libraries, just fltk (fast light tool kit).

I use Surf from suckless.org, it's a step up from Links and very modular. I found it very fast and light, but the only downside is that it doesn't understand html5, and I hate Flash, so I'm using the "not flash" script for youtube etc. except I send the uri straight to mpv (without youtube-dl).
