The PSP has 32MB of RAM plus 4MB of embedded RAM, upgraded to 64MB of RAM in later models, the browser also is limited to only a subset of that. I wonder how old the anecdote is? It's hard to imagine any websites now working on that. It does have javascript, but a version shipped with Netfront browser from 2011 or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Portable#Web_brows...

Nice to see that Astro supports non-js browsers. Perhaps website developers, especially ones needing to develop for government services, should use 1GB Raspberry Pis for testing, but that would still have modern javascript. I got a 1GB RPi 4 in about mid-2019 and was rudely reminded of how much memory Chrome used even back then. More than 1 tab open and it would be killed.

The Eden quote is here https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/01/the-unreasonable-effectiven... and it has some stats of gaming consoles using uk government sites.

I used PSP browser a lot in the mate 2000's, and don't remember having much trouble. It could even display pages that, at the time, ware pretty bloated, like the Flash-based Homestar Runner cartoons.
