He has a point. For me, most of my 'web' experience isn't doing anything I don't remember doing in 1995. The things websites are doing I usually don't want them to do.

I just want to see text, images, and video with light formatting and hyperlinks. This _doesn't_ require hundreds of megabytes of memory. It would involve restricting what the new web could do and those restrictions would make things better. We don't need the kitchen sink in every page.

Sounds like you want to set a mobile user-agent string. Most sites will avoid serving you the whole 'kitchen sink'.

That's about the reasoning behind amp...

Didn't downvote you but I think you fell for the marketing.

Did he? The original comment said "It would involve restricting what the new web could do and those restrictions would make things better. We don't need the kitchen sink in every page." which sounds exactly what AMP is doing.

Meh, I mean, it's in the neighborhood but philosophically unsatisfying.

I want to cut the fat, not add another layer of it on top.

Something like writing a simpler feature-clone (not how it does things but copies the big picture things it does) of postscript with hyperlinks and videos.

Feel free to tune your feelings.

To qualify as one in my book you have to be a serious problem: one came to give me a beating at work and the only way I got away was to find a corner and a weapon until he got distracted.

Another one made life at work so frustrating for two years that I left one of my best jobs ever just to never have to deal with that guy alone.

Unless someone here is stalking you, messing up you life etc then try something like this instead: there are a lot of people on HN who disagrees with me in ways I didn't expect.
