I'm using Links with the GUI of course. Could everyone come back to HTML 4.x,
please? Thank you very much.

What could the driver do for me? The performance issues of Fyrefawkz and
Mozarilla have nothing to do with X11 performance.
I could use H.264 accerelation because my CPU is not up to the task at 1024x768
or higher. I guess buying a new hotplate from AMD would solve this minor issue,
give an overall performance improvement and likely be cheaper than an NVidia
card that does not come with a Jet engine and has remotely acceptable picture
quality for use with a CRT.
