Re: even Wikipedia times out now

I was about to make the same point as Jim -- seems the JS setting
isn't stored in the latest Netsurf so you have to remember to switch
off manually every time you start up via Choices > Content > Disable
JS.

Netsurf gang: is this an oversight? Can it be put back in the next
update please?

thanks
Chris.
