You can't browse the real web that way.  Consider the JS-based captchas
in front of almost everything right now, to slow down AI scrapers.  Then
look at the crap on actual web sites.  The other stuff is mostly still
workable.  Web browsers are the bottleneck.

The Dillectory has tons of alternatives. Also,
there's gopher://magical.fish and gemini://gemi.dev, and basic
TLS 1.3 can be granted with a client built with LibreSSL
or BearSSL. Nothing fancy, even a Pentium 4 with SSE2 can
do Gemini (and far less, I got to run a client
under the *old* Damn Small Linux release with a custom
OpenSSL client built from BearSSL libraries and
plus a modernish GAWK build.
