    Forget it.

    It will stay a niche, but given that several browsers can jump between
    Gopher, HTTP, Gemini, Finger, ... , the oldstyle (protocol diverse) web
    still will stay a thing for an interesting group of neighbours.

    I definitely hope that those protocol separatists will disappear. It
    makes no sense to split the already small community wanting a fast and
    traps free diverse web further into competing subgroups.

    It just makes more sense when all pages are just a click away from stuff
    using other protocols. Just stop the JS trash. We already managed to
    make Java and Flash disappear!

    The Smolweb will be most attractive when it does not lock out
    neighbours.

    Fight broken browsers!
