I'm sad that the Line Mode and WWW Browser emulators are no longer working. They provide such a clear example of the vision for a *resilient* web, and such a tangible connection to early web history.
Maybe there's a metaphor here about how resilience takes effort, and rarely gets funding?
This history is worthwhile, and deserves some basic maintenance. I think the project was lead by CERN in 2019/2020, but maybe something the @w3c would consider taking on?

I'm (partly) wrong, the Line Mode emulator still works - and still has a way to load modern sites: https://line-mode.cern.ch/resources/
That's something!
But it does lose keyboard focus after each interaction. And I can't seem to load any internal pages - I always end up on the home page of any site I visit.
