I feel the same way about TV. I miss the ability to quickly flip through channels.

When I was younger and my family had our first internet connection my dad said "One day internet webpages will load like changing channels on the TV - click click click. instant page loads"

Today TV soo much slower and webpage are... well... you know.

I played around with the `dillo` web browser a couple years ago. It doesn't support javascript, but it was oh so amazing to experience it as you describe.

I still love using Dillo or w3m to browse a simpler web at times.

Not sure if you’re familiar (it’s made the rounds a few times) but the Gemini Protocol (HTTPS replacement) and corresponding Gemtext format (Basically Markdown not even HTML really) is very cool internet space. https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

So the prediction came true - webpages and tv channels load at the same speed.
