Ah, I forgot about the Adblock Plus. But when I disable that, and still
with javascript disabled, now I get a blank page with a circle.

I am not trying to bypass the adverts, or the ablock blocker, I am
trying to disable all the nonsense on forbes (they did at one time serve
up malware from their swamp of javascript). So I am thinking if w3m can
display text, why not SM? I don't think w3m or lynx run javascript.
