* **Gecko** (Firefox): checked and works in v132, both with JS enabled (`mode 1`) and with JS disabled (`mode 3`).
Should work in `mode 1` starting with Firefox 63 (2018); should fall back plain old client-server mode in all versions,
although the design in Firefox 51 (2017) and older will probably not look very good due to the lack of the recent CSS features.
* Blink (e.g. Chromium and Chromium-based browsers): superficially checked in Chromium 130, basic functionality seems to work in `mode 1`.

* WebKit (e.g. qutebrowser, Konqueror, Epiphany and notably Safari): superficialy checked in [BadWolf](https://hacktivis.me/projects/badwolf) 1.3 / webkit2gtk-4.1 2.46.3,

basic functionality seems to work both with JS enabled (in `mode 2`) and with JS disabled (in `mode 3`).
Should work with JS enabled in `mode 2` in all browsers supporting custom elements (e.g. in Safari 10.1 (2017) and newer);
should fall back to `mode 3` in older browsers, except that the design in Safari before 10.1 (2017) will not look very good (but will still be functional),
and will probably become disfunctional in Safari before 3.1 (2008).

I decided to _not_ disable dynamic features in Servo because:

3. Gating offline JS mode for non-servo browsers only will mean that in the future, when servo is fixed,
this demo will only work in client-server mode, just because servo once had a bug. Not ideal.
(Also not even attempting to use dynamic features in servo will make it more difficult to debug the problem in it.)
* EdgeHTML (classic MS Edge before they migrated to Chromium): not checked, should fall back to `mode 3` in all versions,
* **EdgeHTML** (classic MS Edge before they migrated to Chromium): not checked, should fall back to `mode 3` in all versions,
but the page will not look very pretty in Edge before 16 (2017).
* Trident (Internet Explorer): not checked, should fall back to `mode 3`,
UI should be functional (not pretty) in IE8+ (2008) and dysfunctional in IE7 and lower
(fixable by refactoring the approach to displaying/hiding elements to avoid the usage of `:not` selector,
but this is outside the scope of the task).

* **Trident** (Internet Explorer): not checked, should fall back to `mode 3`,
UI should be functional but not pretty.
* **links**: checked on 2.30, mostly functional:
* Links doesn't support disabled buttons
so all board fields are always clickable (even if they're already filled),
this does not cause any functional issues (clicking on the occupied field,
or clicking on an empty field when the game is over, does not change anything),
but still that's a poor UX.

Support for `hidden` attribute is already implemented in https://github.com/rkd77/elinks/issues/341,
and will automatically work in newer versions; in older versions, the user should add
`set document.css.ignore_display_none = 0` to their elinks config.
* **lynx**: checked on 2.9.2, somewhat functional (mostly broken but can be used by those who wish):
* lynx just like links and elinks does not support disabled buttons;
* It does not support neither `hidden` attribute nor styles, so all (unused) templates are displayed;
* It displays the `value` of submit buttons along with their text, which means that, for example,
in every cell of the board along with its state (X/O/_) it also displays full serialized state of the next board.
* **w3m**: checked on 0.5.3.20230718 (the newest version that my distro has to offer),
broken due to https://git.sr.ht/~rkta/w3m/commit/5d9c728592de1c053e064e8db4452b0bface58e0,
might work in newer versions.
