I am running Netsurf v3.2 (August 2014) (from Help -> About) on Ubuntu
Linux 16.04.x .

(NetSurf 3.2 (26th August 2014) )

Interestingly, the Help -> About window, whilst showing the version to
be dated 2014, has "Copyright 2003-2011" (?)

I do not enable javascript in Netsurf.

I access my primary gmail account (the one from which I have posted
thiis message), using Netsurf.

My gmail account is set to the basic mode (I do not knpow whether that
is the name of the mode, as assigned by google - it was previously
displayed in the gmail window, but, is not, now).

The gmail seems to be as usable as gmail is usable (it does not work
with firefox, for me - the way it is displayed in firefox, is
illegible).
