From that perspective, even HTML4+CSS2 would probably be quite sufficient.&lt;p&gt;Maybe if enough of these &amp;quot;minimal browsers&amp;quot; show up, people might even realise that basic HTML and CSS is quite sufficient for a lot of things and start creating simpler, more efficient sites, thus dissolving the monopoly. I realise it&amp;#x27;s going to be extremely difficult to fight corporate interests, but one can hope and dream...&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=25915313&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=25915313&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
