https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus works with r359798 also, of course.

I tried it with r359740 using firefox with a java script blocker installed.  The
site displayed just fine and only complained about cookies.  As soon as I
enabled any one of the two blocked java scripts the tab crashed. Seems
like the site is using some weird java scripts which tickle a bug in
older versions (< r359770) of FreeBSD.
