I miss older html internet
(lemmy.world)
Who cares about performance when you can have performance
Man, I feel the same.
It's obviously not got everything, but Gemini is a protocol that really harks back to web 1.0, and there's a real fun niche going on there. Worth a check out:
You might be interested in htmx. While not fully as simple as html it tries to avoid the issues that come with large complex structures that SPA style websites often utilize
Me too but the money came and we will never be able to go back.
Capitalism dirties everything it touches and destroys what we love in the name of allmighty profit.
A couple of helpful tips to get back that lightning fast feeling...
- Disable Javascript. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/
- If you're using a phone, try PureBrowser
It's incredible how fast things load when you use one of those options! Although I appreciate a few websites simply refuse to work
Can you share some examples of issues you're having?
I never claimed to have issues? I'm just saying the internet today is just filled with so much bloat and ad trackers. I do like some changes over time, but the era of just raw html and organized websites, and a lack of clickbait was nice.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
