Summary: In Gemini (or the Web as seen through Gemini clients such as Kristall) the user comes first; it's not sites/capsules that tell the user how pages are presented/rendered, as they decide only on structural/semantic aspects

WE recently published a number of articles/videos about Kristall [1, 2, 3], a Gemini client based on Qt, which in turn also supports basic Web browsing. The video above shows how Kristall can be customised to suit your own reading preferences, rather than what Web sites typically impose on visitors. It shows that Kristall applies user settings not only to Gemini capsules but also sites like Wikipedia, FSF, GNU and so on.

"So Kristall is, in effect, doing to Web sites what it does to Gemini capsules."Where NetSurf [1, 2] succeeds at making the Web light again Kristall succeeds at also making the Web user-controlled again. Sites written in HTML should really not decide on the presentation as much as the visitor decides on it. So Kristall is, in effect, doing to Web sites what it does to Gemini capsules. ⬆
