Perhaps Opera, before it became another Chrome wrapper? I still have a soft spot for Netsurf, Dillo, w3m and Lynx :)

- PenguinCoder 5y agoI loved what Opera was. It used to be my main browser, before Firefox. These days though, Firefox wins for various reasons and not being a blink rebrand.
- seanw444 5y agoI still hope for Gemini to get bigger. At least in the hacker community, so I can stop having to visit the web often.
- jug 5y agoYes, I think it's interesting! Preemptively tackling two common criticisms: "We already have HTML". Yes, but with Gemini, you know the entire "Geminispace" is going to be like that. It's nice for the state of mind! It also ensures sites on the network won't track you, as the wealth of HTTP headers can kindly assist with. "We already have Gopher". Yes, but Gemini comes with some very useful, almost essential, additions for broader adoption like mandated TLS encryption and things that should have been solved decades ago like defining character encodings, use of MIME types to define binaries, and well supported links to non-Gopher protocols.
