[netsurf-users] Re: Netsurf CSS support.

I didn't just _invent what I wrote in my last post...! ;-)

The information comes from change logs. NetSurf 3.1.2 unquestionably supports display: flex and flex-direction: row, though it looks like it ignores column-gap and overflow: auto tends to cause it draw horizontal scroll bars that obscure the bottom edge of the content (and that last part is definitely therefore a bug, while lack of support for some particular bit of CSS is merely a missing feature).

The nav bar is broken and there are lots of other rendering errors, but the basic layout of columns is 100% CSS flexbox and clearly works.
