Not sure what you mean by "no Ctrl-L" (no shortcut to jump to address bar?); most connection issues with off-brand browsers are SSL-related:

Removed support for all SSL versions due to vulnerabilities.

NetSurf seems to support SSL to the extent that it connected to my site, which scores an A+ on the Qualsys SSL Labs test, without any issues.

On the other hand, I agree that not being able to hit Command-L to jump to the address bar as with every other graphical browser (as well as many other browser-like applications) just… doesn't feel right.

I guess the windows version - no JS - no SSL

pretty much impaired

anyway, good stuff technology-wise... will be in my radar from time to time
