Re: "Looking for an alternative, smolweb inspired, web..."
When you disable JS you won't find this crap anymore but then you cannot navigate 90% of the WWW.
exactly, those 90% aren't small web.
i guess more than 90, alas.

The only thing I personally miss in gemtext is boldface and tables, and I am constantly wrangling with the fixed-font tables!
@stack I would like to have a simple browser to open Mastodon, Diaspora, a couple of fora (Devuan, FreeBSD), Phoronix and an Italian newspaper... The fact is 90% of my internet browsing is made through an SBC and the browser is the Achilles' heel...

For anything else I would use LibreWolf... 😉
@freezr LibreWolf run through flatpak is not too bad. With Ghostery, UBlock, Privacy Badger, Dark Reader, DNS over HTTPS ...
If you can offload the computing required for adblocking to eg a local PiHole or to NextDNS or an adblocking VPN then you can significantly speed up your browsing experience on the SBC.

@freezr I don’t think “simple” is enough for Mastodon. It’s JS‐heavy. You don’t even have a basic HTML version if you don’t have JS enabled (there was in the past, but alas). Your best bet is a dedicated client, IMO.
requiem, thank you for mentioning ladybird. i didn't know about it.
requiem, i made some research and i think ladybird is based on chrome. it's not a completely newly written browser, as i first thought and was a bit inspired by it.
freezr, i hope one day i will write the gemlog, on how to install an oberon system to an arm board, and how to use gemini on it.
techno-seremel, i am quite sure i have saw js free mastodon frontend, but alas, i lost the link, so i cannot link to it. :/

@gemalaya the problem is the hardware I use to run LW, I would need something lighter...
Hmmm; I looked through the GitHub repo and their blog and I see no use of Chrome. What brought you to that conclusion?
@requiem I may try this route but my internet comes from Android USB tethering... 🤔
@tenno-seremel now my main client for the Fediverse is Friendica, and I don't believe it exists any desktop client... 🤷♂️
Looking for an alternative, smolweb inspired, web browser... 🙏 — Hello folks, I am currently using LibreWolf but unfortunately it is still Firefox. I tested other alternative browsers and the best one I found has been: Surf; however it didn't match all my needs, which are: smaller footprint fast & light, alternative UI toolkit tab support ADS & Tracker block sock5 support easy bookmarking JavaScript support Usually lightweight browsers, like Dillo, does not support JavaScript therefore it is...
