An important part of the web is also searching its vast oceans of information with [search engines](search_engine.md) such as the infamous [Google](google.md) engine (as of 2024 still functioning technically but no longer practically). Websites have human readable [url](url.md) addresses thanks to [DNS](dns.md).
Famous and big as it was, it's sad that mainstream web is now EXTREMELY [bloated](bloat.md) and **100% unusable**, beyond saving -- owing of course to [capitalism](capitalism.md). The murdering of web would be probably seen as one of the worst disasters of technological world in history, wasn't it for the fact that countless other disasters of similar magnitude are just happening constantly in [21st century](21st_century.md). The web is now like Chernobyl: a curious place to visit, however radioactive to such a high degree that you can't stay for too long else you acquire brain [cancer](cancer.md). For more [suckless](suckless.md) alternatives to web see [gopher](gopher.md). See also [smol web](smol_internet.md).

Prior to the tragedy of [mainstreamization](mainstream.md) the web used to be perhaps the greatest and most spectacular part of the whole Internet, the service that made Internet widespread, however it soon deteriorated by [capitalist](capitalism.md) interests, commercialization and subsequent invasion of idiots from real world; by this date, in 2020s, it is one of the most illustrative, depressing and also hilarious examples of [capitalist](capitalist_software.md) [bloat](bloat.md). A good article about the issue, called *The Website Obesity Crisis*, can be found at https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm. There used to be a tool for measuring website bloat (now ironically link rotted to some ad lol) which worked like this: it computed the ratio of the page size to the size of its screenshot (e.g. [YouTube](youtube.md), as of writing this, scored 35.7).
