2022

It's the year 2022.

Mozilla Firefox adoption has dropped below 1% and the Mozilla Foundation announces it will be closing its doors forever due to lack of funding.

Likewise, the Rust community has shrunk, withering away over the months and years since 2017 when the last major features were added. Now it resembles nothing more than the Pascal community. Another hipster language that flourished and died.

Another glorious thing about Lynx is that it uses only one (1) socket connection to connect to websites, which it promptly closes after the page has loaded. Ever single other ENTERPRISE browser opens a fuckton of sockets and keeps them open all the fucking time.

Open a TCP monitor and start Lynx, then close it and start Firefox. See the difference for yourself. See the shitstorm of connections Firefox fucks your system with.

There is no way to configure Firefox or any other "modern" browser to stop acting like a pig with your ethernet connection. Use Lynx if you want a polite browser that demonstrably respects your freedom and privacy, instead of just pretending it does.
