Somewhat closer to Debian 9 would be running Amaya, which was last released on Debian 3.1 (sarge), I believe, as amaya 8.5. I think a WYSIWYG HTML editor might qualify as a viewer. https://www.w3.org/Amaya/ says that the latest version, 11.4.4, about 12 years old, is available, and offers support for HTML 4.01, XHTML 1.0, XHTML Basic, XHTML 1.1, HTTP 1.1, MathML 2.0, many CSS 2 features, and SVG. There are 32- and 64-bit versions available as .deb packages, around 20MB. They would be about five years older then Debian 9's actual release date. Cheers, David.
