I don&#x27;t believe anyone seriously uses curl or wget to browse the internet outside of edge cases.<p>If he really wants to read YouTube comments, why not open a separate browser for YouTube? Why not make your own CLI interface that pretends to be the &quot;extraload&quot;ing code?<p>I think it&#x27;s perfectly fine that people have to actively exert effort to stay on a previous browser. Because those people are the reason IE8 and IE7 and IE6 were issues for the longest time.<p>If you don&#x27;t like the everchanging web and the fact that it&#x27;s built on crappy standards, then build your own thing. (This is a point I fully agree with: the web is an awful application platform as it is now.) But why would you make the experience more difficult for everyone else?
