The current browser is based on webkit and has Javascript, DOM etc.

However, the CPU is to slow and the screen to small. Much more fun is
'links' which does have a graphics mode and simply ignores most CSS. But
it is blazingly fast and many pages are better readable with it - thanks
to the fact that most websites have no longer table based layout but a
div based. Thus pages get simply shown sequentially - one div after the
next. Even wikipedia becomes very readable on the small screen.
