We need to go back to gopher or one of those newer simple protocols. It's just too complex to implement HTML / CSS / JavaScript and all the other stuff correctly from scratch.

Google sucks, uninstall Chromium stuff
Mozilla starts sucking and is also American, move to Librewolf fork as a half measure, it sucks.
Just wait for Ladybird bro
It's also American
Why can't Europeans into web engine dev?
Europe is not golden. New european laws are getting more and more authoritarian.
You may end with a browser thar automatically ask you for a id to log all your browsing "for the children!"

Didn't make Chrome Adblockers unusable a while ago? Are 90% of the people now using chrome with ads??
somehow, some people can use the net without an adblocker. i have no idea how, but they're out there.

What's wrong with Librewolf? I'm currently using Firefox and thinking about switching.
I personally had a weird bug where my bookmarks bar stopped showing anything at all. I never reported it so whoops my fault but after a month or two I switched to waterfox. Works fine so far

Ublock origin (for chrome) is gone, but ublock lite is available. Idk what the difference is

I think Gopher would be an even more unworkable shit show than HTTP/HTML is it had to deal with the last thirty year of changes.
Now, Teletext on the other hand...

Could always try floorp as another half measure

Don't know why OP doesn't like Librewolf, I've been using it for a few months and it's been great.
It's fine for now it's just beholden to upstream which isn't in a good state, not actually independent. I'm certainly being hyperbolic.

uBoL sucks A LOT compared to uBo.

Left for you after clicking through all the BS.

DPRK: "it's showtime"
It's not like they're more of an insane surreal shit show of delusional authoritarianism.

At this point it's on web developers, and they sure as hell are prioritizing chromium browsers, likely out of time constraint (and also fuckery at the behest of corporate overlords).
I went to book rooms tonight in Vegas at the Golden Nugget for the solar convention this week.
Firefox couldn't click through to the booking page. It worked for one room but not two. Chromium worked (ish), but also tried to say that it was almost double the rack rate than what the listing showed on Firefox.
I eventually went to kayak and despite glitches, booked the rooms, and still ended up paying more than I should have.
The Internet has become fundamentally broken due to sites trying their stupid fuckery of tracking and pricing shenanigans, let alone just trying to find basic information.
(Sorry I'm drunk and pissed off)
If i had been through that, i would also be drunk and pissed off.

No, they definitely are.

I'd some plans to write my own e-pub reader, since all the existing ones are shite in their own way, but since e-pub files are secretly xhtml and css in disguise, it's actually a hell of a job, much bigger than I'd anticipated.
I don't think making network requests for files nor parsing any of those formats is so difficult, and while the actual layout rules interact in a complicated way they're not insurmountable. However, doing it securely and in a way that runs at an acceptable speed is much harder. Tokenizing JS and interpreting it isn't so bad, but that's not going to run a modern website with tens of thousands of lines of scripts. Displaying video with hardware acceleration? Best bust out some code.
Moving to another protocol will either need the cooperation of everyone everywhere all at once, or since that'll never happen, alternatively convincing all the major browser manufacturers to support both for a while so that other companies can enter the market, which will also never happen. Going to be a tough sell.

How does Librewolf suck?
And Servo is hosted by the Linux Foundation Europe btw.

Give it a go and let us know what you think! I used it for a while, and the biggest annoyance was trying to use YouTube with it where videos increasingly were more difficult to load for some reason. I blame Google for that, honestly.
