I think supporting such a small feature-set of the web is basically rolling back the clock. This is putting people back in the Web 1.0 days, although with a browser built using more modern tools. Even with performance in mind, you might achieve better performance with a closer-to-the-metal language than JS.<p>I commend the effort but I'm not sure about the ultimate goal. If "trying To show the important content only" is the main goal then you are discarding a lot of the richness of the modern web. The web is not strictly about the text content of pages. That was what BBS's were all about. Even then people used ASCII and ANSI art to make pages feel more illustrative and rich.<p>I'd be more interested in someone tackling the complexity and un-elegance of the modern website tech. CSS is pretty un-elegant, but there definitely exists a strong desire to dictate style, how a page is laid out, and to present models outside the text + image article format.<p>I'd love someone to re-engineer the status quo of the code content of webpages, effectively making modern complex and un-elegant browser implementations unnecessary. I don't think the world needs a more minimalistic browser, we've already been down that road in the past, but rather a more minimalistic coding system for webpages in general.
