The Web Is Broken Beyond Repair. The Alternative? GOPHER!

Gopher is an alternative protocol to the standard http (world wide web) protocol. The modern web is slow, bloated and just sucks due to the Internet being dominated by the likes of Google, Facebook, Microsoft and others. Websites are now built with CSS, JavaScript, PHP, databases, images, multimedia and, of course, advertisements! It's not unusual to open Chrome of Firefox and push over 1GB of RAM usage with just one tab open. This is absurd!

NOTE: My gopherhole at gopher://distro.tube has been deleted as of Jan 2021. I now use Gemini instead of gopher. Check out my video on Gemini: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq1k_FCWPXk
