this is why i think Gemini is the most interesting thing happening in the web space today. the browser itself can't overcome the fundamental bloat and decay of the web as we know it today; the heavier and heavier js load, the ridiculous ad load that necessitates entire extensions just to escape from it; etc, etc.

Gemini is a project that actually attacks the root of the problem by presenting an extremely stripped-down hypertext format and giving an alternative at the protocol level.

i highly recommend checking out Gemini https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/faq.gmi and the Lagrange Browser https://github.com/skyjake/lagrange if you find this interesting.

at least for my circle, there's a consensus that the web has calcified and become such a walled garden that we've reached a time where it makes sense to "start over" at a pretty base level; rather than trying to build on top of a platform that, by its nature, inevitably tends towards centralization and capitalization.
