But that doesn't work on the fastest Netsurf that I use (r12638) which
is far smoother at scrolling long pages with images on, and is much
faster at loading the pages in the first place than any of the
Netsurfs released in the last 2 or 3 years. I know because I keep
downloading new ones, and they all exhibit the problems just mentioned
(and acknowledged by Netsurf developers themselves, because they
altered the code to use some other method of displaying pages that
works far slower)

It gives the usual 'error setting certificate verify locations'
