This needs context:

I remember people refusing to use the "new" Netscape (or even Mosaic) back then and sticking with a pure text browser like Lynx, w3m or Emacs for years...

It resonates to me now that I forbid cookies and JavaScript by default in http. This involves going thru extra complications to add exceptions for certain sites like Perlmonks.

That's of course not a 100% solution, because some sites simply won't work without me having to accept wastes of bandwidth, lag, stolen performance and attacks on privacy.¹

Gemini - without having read all specifications for the protocol -sounds like a way to me to guarantee by restrictions that all sites comply to textual browsability.

Tho I'm sceptical...

1) For example: I'm specifically avoiding MSN News because they automatically play videos, and my android browsers have no options to forbid this.
