I've avoided add-ons/add-ins/extensions since the days of Netscape.
I don't think this is the time to start <grin>
I looked at <http://prefbar.tuxfamily.org/buttons.html#togglecss>.
It implies to me that there is a configuration file I could tweak
if I had the time to do the research. I was hoping for adding a
line to user.js .
Oh were it only so simple. Over time, spec writers and developers
have been giving browsers increasingly effective power to overpower
users. Extensions are
the only practical way to deal with the majority of such power.
CSS controls only appearance.
That's where my gripe is.
Scripts control most actions, ...
The extension NoScript disables scripts by default, ...
Except for ONE site (my bank) I surf with JavaScript and cookies turned
off. Extremely rarely have I found myself missing anything.
Ad blocking doesn't require a script, ...
No JavaScript + no cookies does so nicely.
Some strange ideas have just crossed my mind. How strange?
Compared to what I consider my straight forward thought patterns in
another forum, even I consider these strange ;/
More later if they show signs of working.
My ideas may not be all that strange. I did some web searching.

This suggests that what I want would be a nominally a HTML 2.0 capable
browser. As a practical matter it would have to gently ignore later
features.

On a first look this appears to be a reasonably up to date text mode
browser [rarely am I interested in the graphics of a site]. It also
appears that features I don't like (cookies, JavaScript, CSS) may be
conveniently disabled via configuration files.
In another direction, entering "HTML" in the search box at
<http://wiki.tcl.tk> indicates that a variety of HTML parsers (and tools
to create them) are available for TCL/TK.
I do appreciate the time people take to reply to my posts.
