I would sort of want to forget Javascript. :-)

When I seriously considered this sort of project 10 years ago, I wanted it 
specifically so that I had a browser that *couldn't* run Javascript or 
various other "dangerous" things, such that I could use it for browsing 
without worrying much about drive-by downloads and the like.

But I eventually decided that getting the page layouts right enough to be 
useful would be a real bear (consider the complexity of CSS), and decided to 
just write a text URL getter (which lets me see what the spammers are doing 
without any significant risk of executing anything).

The NoScript plugin does about 90% of what I wanted anyway, and without 
writing a browser.

                             Randy.
