I discovered Gemini in 2023 and really enjoy it. I like the minimalism. I like that page presentation is up to the user. I've even come to appreciate the line-based nature of its markup, because theoretically at least, it means a screen reader user knows that elements are always arranged top to bottom.

I say "theoretically" since I have yet to run into an accessible Gemini browser for Windows, which is unfortunate since Gemini's whole deal is text first.

And to head off the inevitable comment about Linux, in order to have an accessible app you need an accessible OS for it to sit on top of.

Semi related, this is why I have argued we should blow computers back to the speed and memory of say a 20Mhz 386. There is a lot of AI junk that could still turn up but that performance limit would heavily restrict just how much this stuff could spread.
