The dichotomy underlying osalta I moved to pqpq.es DEIS to your opinion and you read those of others on these 2 models of software development:
Vs commercial software. Open Source Software

Like any other browser if JavaScript is disabled simply displays the source system provided by CSS or use the default navegdor.
In favor of sIFR3 I must say that the texts remain texts, selectable with typeface.js texts become images.
