Yes, exactly. It's a way to make conditionalise the application
of groups of CSS rules.
So you can give elements different CSS properties depending on, for
example, the width of the window.
Here's a trivial example. It will show "large", "medium", or
"small" depending on the width of the page.
http://test.netsurf-browser.org/html/mq.test.html
Note, in NetSurf we don't support dynamic changes to the computed
style yet, so as you change the width of the window, you'll need
to click reload to see the effect.

Good work: thanks to the whole Netsurf team.
I'd like to know more about Media Queries vis-a-vis Netsurf. Will the
documentation (link from Netsurf welcome page) be updated soon?
As I understand it from the bottom of my learning curve, Media Queries has
to do with designing a website so that it automatically adapts according
to whether the user is viewing it on a large or small screen.
In the site I have been working on, I have treated Netsurf as the default.
Realizing that Windows users habitually view a page the full size of their
wide monitor, and thus get unreadably wide lines of text, I inserted a
workaround to constrain page to 800px (about A5 width). This works fine
on A5 Android tablet too.
The problem of sensibly adapting the layout for a small screen on a
smartphone has so far eluded me, hence my interest in Media Queries.

Thanks for the explanation.

Because you posted to two mailing lists, one of which you don't have posting
rights to.
The answer to your original question is yes, by the way, because 3.10 Dev is
the ongoing test build version after 3.9 was taken out and released. 3.9 is
the stable release, while 3.10 is the potentially unstable versions arising
from ongoing development.

Hello.
Will a port be built, for Ubuntu Linux?
Ubuntu Linux 18.04 does not include NetSurf in its repository, and,
the latest version for Ubuntu Linux 16.04, shows as being
3.2+dfsg-2.2build1, which I have installed.
