No "threat model" here, just a dissatisfaction with so-called "modern" browsers and TLS extensions that disproportionally benefit hosting companies over users (privacy in this case). Plus I genuinely prefer commandline TCP clients and text-only browser to read HTML for most web use. I like the speed, reliability and more uniform presentation I get across all web sites. I like text. Big browsers that do everything under the sun written by people working for "tech" companies funded by advertising are not interesting to me. In fact, I find them annoying.

Some folks write "browser extensions" to control graphical browsers to their liking. I generally do not use graphical javascript-enabled browsers; I prefer to use a different program, a proxy, to control the browser. It works with both graphical browsers and text-only ones.
