Comment on Ask HN: I miss the internet of the 90s/00s. What should I do?

Comments

Try using a variety of text-only browsers that do not auto-oad resources, process CSS or run Javascript, find one you like and modify it to your liking. Operate in text-mode. Refrain from using a graphics layer when not viewing graphics. I have been doing this every day for over 30 years.

Today's web can only aggravate you if you use a so-called "modern" browser. All the annoyances today are wholly dependent on Javascript and "modern" browser "features".
