Like fuck all the proprietary junk and versioning, and just have a bare bones HTML ASCII extranet designed to be simple and without any bugs to patch? Obviously a naive question.

But seriously, the 56k dialup world with Napster GeoCities and AOL Instant Messenger was better. Add capacitive touch screens, current data throughput infra, and lithium batteries to 1999 and we are peak Matrix internet territory. Yahoo and net navigator were better than chrome stalkerware and google digislaver fascism.

    I believe that the text would have to be in at least a <body> tag, so… you’ve got a bug. But yes, I was including browser bugs.

      Do you know of any browsers that would not render <html>simple site</html>?

      I just tested it in brave, dillo, librewolf, links, and it works in each.

      I only recently discovered this (that contrary to prior belief and training), even <body> is unnecessary.
