As someone who enjoys HTML with java, images and cookies turned off, with several blocklists in the browser on my main reading tablet, a text only protocol would suit me just fine as a modern browsing standard (privacy browser downloaded with aurorastore btw).
I still use other browsers on the tablet when needed, but have dropped websites that are incompatible with basic text webpage rendering.
I also use an ipad just to watch youtube and listen to podcasts on distrowatch (i always multitask).
And use a 5g phone just as a hotspot with an LTE travel router.
As an aside, I was visiting Washington state this year just south of Mount St Helens in the spring and with a verizon unlimited MVNO (and only one bar of signal), i was unable to open normal websites to view (and didn't have a VPN configured on my devices), but lo and behold, youtube loaded just fine and played videos the whole time.
Its 2022.. I don't think browsers are going to fix the faults/toxicity with tcp/ip
A text-only browsing standard (htxtp://justwords.com server and client side) would make < 56kbps useable though :p
Build it from scratch, not from bloat and ads.
/Just my 2 cents
