OK! An assertion from an authority. Probably true but I'd want
to corroborate before restating under oath. =8~))

Not sure of your meaning. I don't know which TLS dillo uses.
In my understanding there are two possibilities:
(1) dillo uses openssl or gnutls. Good. Both are better than NSS;
or
(2) one of openssl and gnutls is significantly better than the other.
If dillo uses the "right one"--good. If dillo uses the "wrong one"--bad.

The links are in the Wikimedia boilerplate. Few or zero links
in the textual content.

Interesting. Firefox displays a tidy page. Dillo displays nothing.
Yah, the WWW has become a gong show. I appreciate the exasperation
expressed in parody. Some pages are still worth attention. I wonder
whether a winnowing could be automated. Detect pages where the
content isn't obscured by the icing or find such pages.
A good solution for Oberon S3 would be to make TLS work. Not sure I
want to tackle it.
Thanks for the replies, ... P.
