Idle thoughts ...
If less than half of internet traffic is actual visible content
&
Google has over 60% of the ad server market
&
one were to block google ads (& another 2-3 big players)
so > 80% ad processing was not required
&
TEXT (the part you want to read) is < 1% many/most websites
&
a "text and image ONLY" browser need render 1-5% of all "possible" content
because you drop all need for audio/video heavy lifting
&
A few lines in a host file will ignore
much "non-content" traffic and ads
[the method to do this is posted on this site and elsewhere]
&
a couple of lines of CSS would make visibility -ideal- for reading
something like ...
if text,
{font color = black
background = white
background images = white}
done
[this has been demonstrated in threads on this site]
.... While there is reason to doubt
Kobo would want to implement
any such changes in their
"unsupported" kobo browser ...
Is there any reason a
- text & image only -
browser using low (mobile/phone) power
would not or
could not
- render text and image pages
"instantly" on an EInk screen ?
Further:
Would not, such a browser
on a minimum of battery load,
render
the whole of internet text content
readable directly
(no cloud storage required)
in available light (as if on paper) ?
Just askin'
