"Gemini is an application-layer internet communication protocol for accessing remote documents, similar to HTTP and Gopher."

The protocol has no native embeds (not even images) so all you get is text, or media if you click links to the file directly (also no js, fingerprintin or ads). It's great if you look for a plain internet.

Plus FWIW, dillo has plugins for both Gemini and gopher on it site. So for people who prefer GUIs for browsing, dillo works great, even on the *BSDs

There is a lot of nice content out on both Gemini and Gopher that many people are missing.

Interesting that they did not include stats from sdf.org, I think that is up in the top 3 of number of capsules.

The Lagrange browser is an impressive piece of software. Recommended.

I love frugal but when I tried castor (rust gui) I was just a bit too confused by the ergonomics (both of search and navigation). I'm pretty open minded (I use gnu ed .. so esoteric or different doesn't bother me) but it was too much of a regression compared what we're used through http clients.
