I was using my Galaxy S3 to watch videos and just fool around.
Sometimes it's nice to have a smartphone that's not "up to date" on
everything. I tried to use it to browse the web, but the stock web
browser, the only web browser I have installed on it, spits out SSL
certificate errors all the time, so it's mostly miss when I try to
visit a site on it. Maybe it's using an old version of SSL or TSL?
I'm not sure what's going on there, but it's nice that I can still use
Gopher via Overbite 0.2 on it. It's just amazing to me that tech from
2013 at the earliest is having trouble on the WWW in 2023. It's also
quite possible there's an issue with my settings, but I don't know.
It also kind of reminds me of using old versions of Opera and how the
websites are just out of whack because they're using older engines
that don't load or can hardly keep up with the modern web. At least I
can understand why so many people on here dislike Javascript, although
in my eyes, it's just a tool used to do evil rather than evil itself.
I guess the WWW is changing and that's how it will be for a while. I
can only hope that it changes for the better and companies start to
realize that making websites "pretty" or "easy to create" doesn't make
them better.
