Filtering the web

A browser that says no

+

+ 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. +

+

+ 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. +

+

+ A better solution would be a smolweb plugin that filters the entire + html page rejecting anything that doesn't + validate or pass to + rdrview . Degrees of acceptance could be set in settings. +

+

+ 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). +

+

+ Just point the browser to any web site and if it borks, display the + "errors" or ignore it with a + + 418 I'm a teapot error: after all it's the web site author's responsibility to provide + clean, readable web sites. +

+

+ Imagine a world where this plugin would be as ubiquitous as + ublock-origin, it could even change web site development. +
