Big Tech has unfortunately convinced many developers that all sites must be huge bloated webapps that only work in the latest versions of their browsers. Reversing that propaganda will be the most difficult part of making the Internet great again.
Those are not workable alternatives. I agree, in principle, that some sites are more bloated than they need to be. But that's like saying "air bags, power locks, windshield wipers~ somehow the auto industry has convinced that all cars must have these features"...
People want them. So we have them.
Dillo, NetSurf, Links, Lynx... also do not sync browsing dasta.
