an experimental browser is to be considered something which will last a long time? Or would it need lots of maintenance? I can predict that in the next 5 years there will be some api change and users will have to migrate. And some users will not. If users will be dropped then it is not a perfect thing that makes pages last.

Yes it probably is great to get started for newbies, but the article was about things that last

Doesn’t seem like you know what you’re talking about. API changes? Sure, if you’re referring to the HTML language changing. The content does not depend on the browser being there. It’s just “dat” addresses. Dat is a public p2p protocol with good success stories, especially in the scientific community.
