I've tried multiple browsers on my i386 gateway to access a Comcast
router and so far the only thing that works is Firefox. It takes two or
three days to build (I am not a fan of rust) but it runs on
netbsd8-i386 for me. Trying to run it over X from a distance (i.e. not
inside the home network like from work through an ssh tunnel) causes
crashes, but it seems to work otherwise.
