You know what I miss, elinks. Back when Yahoo chat was a thing, that's what I used for nearly all of my web browsing needs. If, and that's a mighty big if, I needed a proper GUI browser for something, I would use Firefox, and at that time it really was the best browser. There was also a time when I would use Opera for all my browsing needs, before they swapped to using Chromium, and at that time, Opera was far better than Firefox. Like all things in tech, the more they change, the worse they get. I can't even use elinks now because it won't work at all on the modern web, and I can't stand to use any Chromium based browser, even Brave which people keep recommending. Firefox is the last browser standing as far as I'm concerned, and I'm getting to the point where I hate even that. If Ladybird doesn't drastically improve things over Firefox, I can't see switching to it. Ultimately, I may be forced to write my own browser from scratch and that's a multi-year project to even get something off the ground, unless the internet fundamentally changes. If we could get rid of HTML/CSS/JS, then the world and browsers would be far better off.
