Thanks for the explanation. I don't know how can you hope to keep up with

The "body { visibility: hidden !important; }" style means "hide the
whole page from view".  There is some JavaScript to unset it,
revealing the page.

It's daft, because the page won't display at all in any browser with
JavaScript disabled.  In NetSurf, it doesn't work with JavaScript
enabled because our JavaScript support is far from complete.
