To each her own, but I see the complex browser such as Chrome, Edge and Mozilla as part of the problem. Javascript too. Neither is inherently problematic, but both are too often used to create problems for users (to serve advertisers' interests) rather than to solve them. For example, without Chrome/Edge/Mozilla plus Javascript, "paywall" does not work. Yet I can still read the WSJ article just fine with either Chrome/Edge/Mozilla nor Javascript.

Much like a tech company that wants www readers to believe it is working to solve a problem www users are having that the tech company itself created (which, it just so happens, is not a problem at all for advertisers).
