It tells both about how light websites were and that you were a patient kid (both great qualities). Only websites which could be logged in with Kindle experimental browser nowadays are HN type minimalist websites.
- Jaxkr 5y agoIt was surprisingly snappy, particularly compared to the Nintendo DSi web browser which I also spent a lot of time with. The internet truly was lighter and had less JavaScript back then. I remember Tumblr working very well on the experimental Kindle browser.
