I don't have a problem with the "modern web". I love all the new technologies. But I think we should re-split the document web from the application web. A huge percentage of web content can be implemented with a subset of HTML and CSS.
A browser that implemented a few semantic tags (including <img> and <video>), fonts, colors, and flexbox would be useful, secure, fast (even on slow devices/connections), and far easier to implement than the behemoths we have now.
Let the application web keep evolving, but specify a well-defined subset for sites that don't need all the features.
