web apps are gated by the abominations of whatng cartel web engines, with even worse SDKs, mechanically certainly not 'small' and assurely a definitive nono.
And the 'old' interface, you bet I tried to use it... which is actually gated with javascript... so...
I've tested it in both w3m and dillo, should work fine as long as your browser renders noscript tags. It's very much designed from the ground up to handle browsers like that. Just requires you to manually wait a few seconds and then press the link.
One configuration that might break is if you're running something like chrome or firefox, and rigging it to not run JS. But it's really hard to support those types of configurations. If it works in w3m, it's no longer a "site requires JS" issue...
I used lynx and links2 (not yet netsurf), as far as I can recall, never got what you talked about.
Was brutally blocked and got the finger because none of those web browsers has javascript (and even CSS).
While thinking about it, I hate even more the whatng cartel for the damage they did to the web with their 'web apps'.
Here's a video of me getting past the bot blocker with links2 I guess?
I did re-test just now, I get the same thing than in the vid.
meh.
