Still works if you mimic netsurf, w3m or elinks user agents, but yeah 
not ideal.

I suspect they still "care" a bit about non-JS browsers, they just don't 
test Dillo and their stupid support system doesn't let me pass the 
message to the engineering team.

I still don't have much hope it will last long for those browsers. I 
would leave it for now, until it stops working with any UA.

Best,
Rodrigo.
