Personally, I think the biggest benefit that the internet can confer to FW is someone reading it out, rather than providing easier access to annotations. I suspect FW is best enjoyed when done at pace, letting the poetry of the thing wash over you, rather than sitting down and assiduously looking up every single word, which I can only imagine gets incredibly boring very quickly. What struck me about Joyce's reading of FW is (a) how quickly he makes his way through it, and (b) how this novel/poem is written for an Irish accent.
