Ignoring the security implications, I miss kb large old raw html websites that loaded instantly on DSL internet. Nowadays shit is too fancy because hardware allows that, but I feel we’re just constantly running into more bugs first and then worry about them later.

Edit: I’ve thought more about it, and I think I just missed the simplicity of the internet back then. There’s just too much bloat these days with ad trackers and misinformation. I kinda forgot just how bright and eye jarring most old UIs were lol.

    It is more secure than anything now is if used over HTTP.

    Oldschool HTML isn’t active, it doesn’t do anything client side.

    So the only insecure thing about it is that someone external can see what you were looking at.
