Unfortunately, today, there are a number of sites that require
javascript. I don't speak about overloaded media sites. But for example
bank or even governemental sites.
It is unfortunate to have, for some common tasks, the need of
"something else" (and due to the size and complexity of Mozilla
and Chrome, "something else" can be a pretty restrictive choice).
If I'm not mistaken, Russ Cox says somewhere that he was happy working
under Plan9 but that he ported the Plan9 utilities to other systems when
he realized there was no hope that someday Mozilla will run on Plan9...
So he still uses Plan9 utilities, but not under Plan9...
