yes, there is no really good browser any more.

google and some others have made web standards so complex that a team of a few people can't build a new browser (that works on most sites) from scratch any more.

additionally, malicious actors have forced ppl to use challenges to protect their sites from spam. easy captcha don't work well any more. those challenges check things like SSL handshakes and JS capability etc. to determine the browser. that makes new browsers get blocked at first, until the challange devs allow it.

IMO a complete overhaul of the internet is in order, with new standards made from scratch, with the aim to stay minimal and easy to implement.

there are already "smallweb" enthusiasts trying to make simpler sites etc., but it's getting harder every day. at some point, they will probably have to separate from the regular internet.
