* HTML, CSS (cascade, floats, flexbox, basic grid, @media, variables),
tables, forms, built-in PNG and SVG decoders, other images through
datatypes, disk cache
* Every tab has its own memory limit; background tabs are put to sleep
when RAM runs low

of web forums
* Add-ons: JavaScript (QuickJS, optional), search engines without
