I share your dream, brother. This is why I design for every browser, with progressive enhancement.

The browser you describe already exists, it's one with JS disabled, and you ignore the sites which don't work without it. This is how I browse every day.

I don't feel like I'm missing much.

I enable JS for reddit because I have to mod things, but I find myself visiting that site less and less now. HN works. Facebook works (good enough.) Gmail works. Google Search and DDG work. GitHub... meh.

If you ever feel nostalgic for using that beautiful thing which was IE3 or NN3 or pre-JS Opera, they're all welcome on my forum website.

With psychedelics, many people say, "you don't find it, it finds you".

If you are not averse to mysticism and observation-creation and all that stuff...

Just mindfully, focusedly set an intention and then keep your eyes peeled.

It's intended for time travelers, retro-computing enthusiasts, and post-apocalyptic users with whatever device they found in the closet of the abandoned building.

It's also intended as inspiration for Web lovers of all kind to show that that it is possible.

It's largely the same version, with a couple of .js files that get included or left out depending on feature checks. This is necessary because one is a library written in modern JS with syntax like ===, which causes syntax errors in older browsers.

Please, do check it out in Windows Phone. I have only tested it once so far. It worked, but it was a while ago.

I'm working on web forum/community software which should be compatible with just about any Web-capable device, regardless of browser.

I've dedicated a lot of time to compatibility, and now it is usable and fully feature-accessible in IE4, IE5.5, IE8, Netscape 3, 4, Opera 3-12, Lynx, w3m, Chrome 1.0, old Safari versions, etc.

I'm still working on a few IE3 issues, will be fixed soon.
