Since when did console browser imply no javascript support?
Back when I still used console browsers, edbrowse had fairly good
javascript support.

I'd be surprised if it was good enough to use Amazon effectively now
(although it was back in the day) and fairly surprised if it's audio
support was up to password recovery, but it definitely did have
javascript support.
