...where everything is designed to magically arrange itself on both smart phone screens and giant monitors, and it all looks horrible.

The very thing that attracted me to the World Wide Web, the economy and simplicity of HTML, has been discarded so commercial interests can push abominations like advertisements that move, or even worse, make noise.

Sometimes I want to burn it all down, and start all over again at some simple place that renders everything in the user's preferred terminal style.

Occasionally I'll write or find a script to render sites the way I want to see them, but that's a bother, and I shouldn't have to do it. The default style of any site should be MY STYLE and I like it simple.
