Can we carve out a part of the internet please where we go back to super basic html pages that are a mix of self hosted hobby blogs and university research sites? It was good then. Everything's gotten so noisy, and busy, and shit.
Time to build a new one and this time, dont tell investors.

There is Neocities and a few other sites that allow you to make and share your own sites. Though some sites are more than just basic html, so experience will vary, but you can find basic pages dedicated to hobbies and such if you sift through them. Only problem with these sites/services, assuming the other ones are run like Neocities, is that you are given a pretty limited amount of space.
Gemini project is doing that
Gemini, the protocol is built on never adding new shit, so it's only basic pages
Lovely :)

There's other types of "small web" out there too.
The browser you're looking for is literally called Links.
Links is just a browser, it doesn't fix the websites themselves Search engines gatekeeps websites away, making it borderline impossible to find anything SEO optimized makes way too much noise to find anything meaningful And JavaScript makes browsers like Links borderline unusable
Not my experience. Links just makes borderline unusable websites completely unusable.
Ah, yes, of course, foolish of me
