Back in the day the best way to find cool sites when you were on a cool site was to click next in the webring. In this age of ailing search engines and confidently incorrect AI, it is time for the webring to make a comeback.
This person has given his the code to get started: Webring
Kagi is also experimenting with small web
I love this idea, the back button on browsers feels like it exists because of webrings
It exists because web browsers used to not have tabs. Nowadays it’s useless cause with modern scripted web pages you never properly get back to the site you left
Just block JavaScript
Then the entire browser becomes useless. I couldn’t even post this comment without JavaScript.
Edit: I wish a search engine that only showed websites without JavaScript existed.
Duckduckgo has a no javascript mode.
