Please recommend a light-weight web browser for static sites with the following features:
1)Lightweight layout engine: not one of the Big Three.
2)Dark mode: I need all pages to show a dark background (preferably true black) with light text. No exceptions. If I encounter a page with light-themed CSS, I want some feature equivalent to the Dark Reader extension that major browsers have.
3)Graphical: I want to be able to navigate with a mouse, not just a the terminal.
4)Not developed primarily by a bigot. So no Pale Moon (and Pale Moon's Goanna engine isn't really lightweight, it's just slightly less heavy than the big three).
Also note that I'm specifically looking for a web browser with these criteria: for Gemini/Spartan/similar protocols I already have Lagrange.

In the #1990s, large-scale adoption of inter-connectivity of those PCs via #BBS, whether it was via #Compuserve, smaller #ISPs, or the #AOL behemoth, really took off. This changed how people exchanged information. This web ( #web1_0 ) was largely a one directional vehicle for information, despite the success of "interactive" applications like #email and #usenet. 3/16
At all the #retroweb #yesterweb #webdev coders, what tools and frameworks do you use for coding your #personalwebsites?
I'm having a hard time finding tools and frameworks that works without admin access to a server, which I don't have on my webspace - #ftp only, #oldweb #Web1_0 style.
Crawling through the MySpace Dragon Hoard. It is a collection of 490,000 mp3 files from MySpace.com, collected by an anonymous academic study conducted between 2008 and 2010. https://archive.org/details/myspace_dragon_hoard_2010

This piece made me want to binge nearly all the tv episodes and movies mentioned in it (but hard pass for Seinfeld). I'm such a nostalgia nerd for 'old internet' media.

@Eceni I don’t understand a fraction of the stuff you explored in that conversation with Cory Feco. But it was breathtakingly stimulating and I know that his ideas are very important if we are to transition from #capitalism to a better liveable world.
Will we awaken politicians and governments in time?
