Your attitude is awkward.
It is sad.
I've noticed when presented with facts or an argument you can't refute as a response to some claim you have made you resort to this type of baseless response as a last resort. Sad.
You can't refute either of his statements in response to your claim "HTML killed the web" since here we are on the web in a forum that uses HTML. Awkward.
Now you want your posts left in peace with your point the final word as truth beyond reproach? Beaten.
XHTML was pretty new when I went to w3schools to learn HTML, so that's what I learned along with CSS. My pages are plain and simple to the point of embarrassment, my code valid and easy to read as this type and my pages (sans images) load very quickly. That's the payoff to plain and simple web design and handwritten valid code. Feel free to run any of my pages on a download test for speed.
It's not the web that is slow, it's dancing baloney, ads for clicks mentality, bad web design and lack of common sense among the mindless masses to disable most of that nonsense globally by default.
Does is really help to find the best web browser to use something that is definitely slow i.e. html , i.e. the whole web.
This is a recent speed test using Firefox over my cable connection.
The web being "slow" a fallacy you have put forth multiple times, unless you have dial-up and a cool retro sounding modem. Your suggestion on implementing yet another version of the internet for scientist and academic and serious stuffs based on your idea that HTML is slow and the web is dead. I don't have any complaints about my internet speed or problems setting up my browsers. I had 7 terminals open yesterday all running
www/youtube_dl at once and it was no problem at all.
Text-based browsers are fine for their purpose and if it suits your browsing needs better yet. I use Mozilla based browsers for the extensions and the overall view of the page, being interested in other peoples work.
When I teach Demonica I keep 5-6 Forge tabs open, 1 to dictionary.com and 1 to thesaurus.com as a reference to dialog with a lot of quick copy and paste work for hours on end. It would be an arduous task to use a text based browser and productivity slow to a crawl. One of those pages are her chat page and it runs on JS, so a text browser a total failure for my requirements in that respect, Unsuitable at best for most when I can look at the whole forum page at once with Firefox, at worst clunky and a hindrance to how I work using a browser.
I don't care how much people rave about text editors or despise others either. I'm much more productive with
editors/leafpad when working on my sites. Nothing else matters to me but getting it done right as quickly as possible.
Just because you prefer brown pennyloafers doesn't mean they're better than my Converse Cons bball shoes, that everyone should change shoe styles for a better walking experience, or that sidewalks will be replaced by George Jetson moving walkways because someone keeps stubbing their toe walking in flipflops.
Maybe have Carnegie, MIT, ... a sub internet that would be dedicated to serious stuffs.
The Russians are testing out their own private internet.
Mr. President, we cannot allow a sub-internet gap!
