      Duktape is used by NetSurf, but the JS implementation (in NetSurf) is incomplete - specifically there’s no dynamic layout engine so a lot of stuff doesn’t work.

        Partial support is sadly pretty useless at present. Developers target ‘latest’ big engines, so unless you are up to yesterday’s spec, there is a good chance their JavaScript will give you nothing but errors.
