Any properly coded web page *should* be viewable with JavaScript, plugins, CSS, or other enhancements turned off or blocked. Of course, this isn't always the case, but Newton web browsers are actually pretty good at ignoring all the cruft that they can't understand. If the content of a site can't be viewed without JavaScript, that speaks to the laziness of the the company and its developers.

As I mentioned previously, the real issue is not being able to access HTTPS pages at all.
