@rhaleblian finds the most tractable approach to be a very dumb client that relies on proxy and rewriting servers to transform sites into the simpler forms of a more elegant age.

Interesting things:

With a WRP approach, the client actually requests a rendered image for a site, displays it, and takes mouse input to ship back to WRP. VNC for web pages.

To contextualize, OmniWeb succeeds more than the above tactics so it still seems the best average solution.
