What you call "serene," I would call "austere." That's not meant as a denigration, mind you: I'm very curious as to your viewpoint here. What do you enjoy about

  I use elinks-- I like it for reading. I like how all the text is displayed the same, in a fixed width font I'm used to looking at. There's nothing to distract me or get in the way.

    But.... You are missing all the ads! Without those, nobody buys anything and companies go bankrupt. Hopefully you make up for your behavior by consuming more than average and watching Fox News.

  > What do you enjoy about such an experience? The major benefit is that I don't enjoy an "experience", I just read the content and leave. So much of the modern web is built specifically to prevent that.

  I find the ordinary internet terribly overstimulating. It's a constant din of people screaming for my attention. Even relatively sober sites often have distracting designs that make it hard to focus on the content. Text mode is calming, it cuts straight through the clutter. In text mode, authors have to distinguish themselves by saying something interesting, and it's a lot easier to decide whether that's the case when they have nothing but words with which to make their arguments.
