This very approach seems to pre-determine a centralized internet, where the dynamic behaviour that you care about belongs on a short list of websites whose functionality can be implemented by hand...
I suppose my idealism is running hard into reality. Obviously, this project is feasible and does work for many sites (not YouTube or Netflix, due to lack of <video>, but does work for CNN and HN and acoup.blog and...). I want to live in a world where either this is wildly successful and everybody knocks it off, or a world where this is completely impractical because everyone is doing Cool Art Things and this simply would be impractical. But this world where it's practical, but unloved... do not like that.

- spencerflem 2y agoI think that's what OP was getting at - if FixBrowser was very popular, then servers would use CGI etc. for dynamic behaviours, but its not and they don't. Instead the community is relied upon to reimplemented the behavior in FixScript which means by necessity only a smaller number of popular sites will load correctly m
