In my ever-increasing desire to use emacs as my sole computing environment, I have started to take browsing the web inside it far more seriously. Where I previously had thought EWW to be a niceity but far from capable, after using it for a few days it seems to be useable for about 85-90% of use cases - even on the javascript riddled hellhole that is the internet.
