It's no secret that the internet has become mostly terrible over the last decade or so. Long gone is the open web, and in it's place is a quagmire of ads, trackers and social media blobs that have gotten so complicated, we have to buy new computers each year just so Big Tech can track us better!

Well, forget all that. I've built a service that strips the modern web back down to basics - text and images. So far, in fact, that even ancient web browsers can handle it again!

Here's the story behind FrogFind.com and 68k.news.
