       | Ah yes the modern world wide web ... or more accurately heading
       | towards the special region, circumstance (have permission)and
       | browser web.

       | I'm a huge fan of a higher information to fluff ratio, with
       | videos on site, not say some other _fremium pay by tracking_
       | service.

       | As for older browsers mentioned, it's surely not to hard to add
       | to a web site to add an If older browser then do old html layout,
       | minus the candy.

       | It's getting closer to the point where we call the entire current
       | "web" a Google-specific network, Google Chrome is renamed a
       | "Google" browser instead of a web browser, and we re-make a new
       | interlinked network which does not require one specific company's
       | product to use. (Never mind an advertisement company.)
       | 
       | The "Google" network and sites can be kept on as a necessary evil
       | proprietary service, like Facebook is for many, and also
       | LinkedIn.

         | consumes user's resources and tries to hijack user's attention,
         | in an attempt to make a few cents on ads.
         | 
         | If HTMX were all the rage, I'm certain that many terribly heavy
         | sites would be created with it, given the same incentive
         | structure.
