Perhaps the best thing about the text-only browser I use is that I, the www user, can edit and compile it quickly and easily.

Whereas with the so-called "modern" browser, designed by committee,, all control over changes to fix issues rests with so-called "tech" companies that cater and are beholden to onlline advertising, namely, the commercial exploitatioon of the www user as an ad target.

Generally,^1 with so-called "modern" browsers, the "right to repair" is meaningless. Only a handful of companies make "repairs".

1. Exceptions usuallly try to match the complexity of the so-called "modern" browser, not reduce it. Generally, "features" are copied, not removed. The www user is not expected to compille the source code nor edit it to their liking.

Text-only browsers are not a "solution". That is not the point of the comment. Such simpler clients are not a problem.

The point is that gigantic, overly complex "browsers" designed for surveillance and advertising are the problem. They are not a solution.

Going back to text-only browsers is not the solution.
