I have often considered doing this myself. My current browsing habits are a disjointed, site-to-site flitting mess that leaves me less informed and more annoyed.

- Open Reddit/FB/IG, browse briefly

- Switch to a news site, scan headlines, get irritated with almost-clickbait headlines

- Switch back to Reddit/FB/IG by reflex, even though I know nothing's changed.

The last time I lacked near-24/7 internet access was when living abroad in 2007. I'd go to an internet cafe daily, where once I was done with emails, IMs etc, I'd save a folder of HTML pages (mainly message board threads) to my USB drive for offline reading. It made my browsing experience much more time-efficient, as my Internet use had a clear starting point and an ending point, sort of like a newspaper.
