I tried a bunch of different browsers today on a lark, because Firefox has become the monstrosity it was once created to replace, and new Linux distros just keep getting slower and slower on this aging Core i7-6500U laptop. The browsers included Edge, Epiphany, Vivaldi, Opera, Otter, Palemoon, Netsurf, Dillo.
Let me tell you, it was a gas. So many broken pages. Such a wide range of performance and "user experience". Browsing with Dillo was like looking at the internet through an abstract art painting, which was even more striking because I still remember when I could actually browse most websites with Dillo, and now links2 -g (remember how Links has graphics mode?) is literally more usable for browsing the web.
Turns out Epiphany is extremely minimal, fast, and renders pages well (and even supports Firefox Sync? that's cool), so I'm gonna try that as a daily driver.
