That's why I moved from Altavista to Google. Google had a minimalist homepage and results page which were focussed and loaded very quickly compared to the bloated pages (for the time) of Altavista and Yahoo.
- UncleSlacky 8y agoAV did also offer a minimalist site, raging.com, after Google appeared. Going to the site today, it still tries to redirect to https://www.altavista.com/web/text?raging=1/ https://www.altavista.com/web/text?raging=1/
