This thread has actually returned in its own way to the topic of browsers---in a general sense---and how to stay on the low-end as sites like Google demand more and more computer resources.
For example, when I was limited to using my G3 iBook, and my G4 stock Digital Audio, I often took refuge in the Elinks text browser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELinks It runs in the Terminal and reminds of my original internet experience of modeming in to my University Vax account, running Gopher. It is *especially* well suited to Google Groups as it eliminates all formatting other than ASCII text. It can also be used for Gmail and Yahoo mail. When I begin to detest how much WWW has become like TV, I use ELinks. As for Facebook, there is a Firefox addon called Facebook Purity which reverses some of the more egregious nonsense---as far as the formatting is concerned. Right now I am responding to this Google Groups thread through the Basic HTML version of Gmail---which, by the way, selects for you if quoted text appears above or below your reply. There is even a more barebones version of Gmail, the mobile version you can run in your browser. I don't think I will be posting through the Groups interface on principle.
