This is a fantastic way to assess website functionality. It would drive me insane on day to day use.
In all reality, I just want to dump the modern web's approach. CSS, Javascript, you name it. Give me simple HTML and text ads, if you need ads. Give me pictures when I want them, with descriptive captions. I agree with the intent of the blog--quit making crappy ads and bloated sites!
I use elinks often, and find it's text-based approach easier to comprehend. What are your thoughts?
