About ten years ago I had to give up using
my old Athlon 3200+ machine used for the
"surfing", because it turned out, that after
next "upgrade" in my bank I wasn't able to
operate my bank account (and still more and
more websites became incredibly slow, when
browsing their contents). Yes, everyone
prefer to push the burden on your machine
by using that JS (that should be banned),
instead making their server doing that by
using PHP, for example.

still possible - to not even glance at all
that shiny fluff, to avoid pop-up windows
etc. - but that time is over since almost
20 years ago today. Try to use Lynx today
with any site. Maybe 5-10% of them can be
browsed such way.

- Lynx

Links it's better, and far more with the PSP
or the Opera Mini user agent.

Also, I use both the DIllectory and Gopher/Gemini
sites.
