Wayland installed here, so I will try the other option soon. Not quite sure about how vnc is supposed to work related to fb. Soma goes for Xcb, could it be wayland related??? Hence I decided not to push these two last flags in REQUIRED_USE. NB: trying to go to youtube hard freeze in fb[sdl] & crashes app in gtk3+. Playing with javascript implementation or opengl doesn't seems to help here. You have been warned. Thks 4 ur attention.
Slighty better version as libsdl[X] seems required for working netsurf-fb under wayland. --- libnsfb-0.2.0-r1.ebuild 2019-02-17 21:09:29.000000000 +0300 +++ libnsfb-0.2.0-r2.ebuild 2019-10-27 12:58:21.599837534 +0300 @@ -14,15 +14,18 @@ KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~arm ~ppc ~ppc64" IUSE="sdl test vnc wayland xcb" -RDEPEND="sdl?

Actually it's clicking on youtube.com link after a google search that freezes the console instance or crashes the gtk instance, e.g. due to an issue with curl; check launching netsurf-gtk[3] -w in terminal.
