+ <h4>A browser that says no</h4>
+ <p>
+ To me the problem with the smolweb is that there's isn't a browser
+ that applies these rules. Dillo comes close, even though it needs a
+ makeover.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Dillo also has an rdrview plugin, but you have to manually write
+ rdrview: in front of the url in the url bar of every page to see the
+ results.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A better solution would be a smolweb plugin that filters the entire
+ html page rejecting anything that doesn't
+ <a href="https://smolweb.org/validator/">validate</a> or pass to
+ rdrview . Degrees of acceptance could be set in settings.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ A dedicated browser wouldn't require searching for smolweb / smallweb
+ / indieweb blogs, sites, or articles. (There seems to be no such thing
+ as a smolweb search engine, although points for wiby, marginalia, kagi
+ and mojeek).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Just point the browser to any web site and if it borks, display the
+ "errors" or ignore it with a
+ <a
+ href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Reference/Status/418"
+ >
+ 418 I'm a teapot error</a
+ >: after all it's the web site author's responsibility to provide
+ clean, readable web sites.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Imagine a world where this plugin would be as ubiquitous as
+ ublock-origin, it could even change web site development.
