I will look at the 'new' Arachne some time.  Thanks for the info.

I prefer a text-only browser most of the time so I use lynx itself, and 
Opera only if I need javascript.  I also have lynx (in linux) set to use 
graphical links as a downloader (plugin) if I really need embedded 
images or rudimentary javascript.

I won't try it, thanks.
