amazon?

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I suspect lack of JavaScript support in most text-mode browsers is at
least part of the problem. Amazon works well enough in Firefox with
Orca, but much of the site simply won't load if JavaScript is disabled
or blocked.

Admittedly, Firefox working is annoying in its own way since if I
didn't need Firefox, I could ditch the GUI altogether.
