To be fair, it can be circumvented by just reading the source. However,
while Wetware/1.0 is a rather secure Javascript interpreter, it suffers
from lack of speed.

In short, I gave up when I got another blank page after finding their
front page. Looks like the guys at iDEFENSE are not prepared for this
kind of paranoia...
 
Other than the fact it's not really accessible without enabling
Javascript, it might be a fine site, though.
