THE world's "modern" Web browsers are becoming just a monolith; they're mostly clones of the same thing, which is de facto proprietary with DRM on top. As for Mozilla, it's acting like an extension of GAFAM and Firefox won't survive this way. It's not trustworthy, either.

So we need to get off the World Wide Web, however gradually. This can take a long time, but a partial transition is doable. One shouldn't be required to run a 300MB (or RAM) application with lots of unknown scripts running in the background just to read an article, i.e. about a dozen paragraphs of text.

So around the start of this year we launched our Gemini capsule, knowing Gemini Protocol was still very new albeit approaching finalisation (Solderpunk is working on it this week [1, 2]). Lupa knows close to 1,800 capsules already (latest list as HTML or as text; it was around 500 at the same time last year) and it grows each month at a steady pace.

As we habitually do, we again invite people to join us in Gemini Space. Advertisers, spies and hostile corporations aren't there, at least not yet. The artificial limitations and constraints there would handicap their ambitions, regardless. ⬆
