Apparently the ancient memes have been summoned because somebody needs to talk about
the state of the place.

The pitch is nostalgia, but the useful bit is choice. A browser can’t restore the
internet of 2006. It can at least give you somewhere to go instead of accepting 
whatever the largest platforms have decided browsing should feel like this week.

Come for the reunion. Leave with a second browser installed. That is a remarkably
practical outcome for an Annoying Orange appearance.
