Anybody concur?

I'm on #2935 (Aug 25) and have been suffering a great many sites that
time out with no display at all. Sometimes hourglassing goes on
forever and there's nothing for it but Alt-Break to kill Netsurf.
Some of these cases will succeed if I relaunch Netsurf, switch off
Javascript from its iconbar menu, and only then reload the site.
