As others have pointed out that's pretty hard to define, but in
the current web world, you can cover a surprisingly large fraction
of sites if you have good JavaScript and CSS support.  Running
Java in the browser isn't as trendy as it once was, so the big
missing piece would be Flash, which of course, is the root of
all evil.

There's one other possibility that I've thought about.  Inferno's
browser charon is more capable than it might appear.  It has
some degree of JavaScript support.  The main thing I've noticed
when trying to use it for some day-to-day browsing is that
it lacks CSS and could use some work on performance.  I suspect
that adding CSS to charon and doing some performance work
on it would be easier than either of those two options.
