[colug-432] browser bloat

[Zach Villers]

So there are a couple others you can try;

- Vivaldi - seems very configurable, not sure what it's built on.
- Brave - Eich's new browser. Blocks ads that track you and slow down page
loading and substitutes "better" - non-tracking ads. I have not tried.
- servo - new from moz, coded in rust to take advantage of concurrency -
also have not tried, see servo.org

I still use Lynx on occasion, and Midori occasionally .

Good Luck,
Zach
