Mozilla SeaMonkey still has the HTML editor (and has been updated within a year!). SeaMonkey is strange because it looks like it was pulled straight out of 1999, but still has a Modern version of FireFox in there, even with the F12 web developer tools, despite also having the historical version of those same web developer tools there too. If you want to test it out, make sure you install https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy/release... from there, because it won't show up in the extensions search.

More than NoScript, get Ublock Origin Legacy: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock-for-firefox-legacy Also, there's a forked dillo called dillo-ng https://github.com/w00fpack/dilloNG with mpv support on context menu that works fine with these sites: https://68k.news https://simple-web.org/projects/simplytranslate.html https://simple-web.org/ (several services without js). On the Invidious video links, simply right click the link and choose open with mpv". Also, on Gopher (lynx it's good for this) gopher://magical.fish has a huge service list usable on text mode.
