I have been thinking recently that Mars and maybe the Moon would need to use asynchronous messages. Basically, email but with multiple message types.
For browsing the web, they would send a message requesting a page, and get back the messages for the page in 30 minutes. They would probably send a request for whole site instead of round-trips for links.
This means that interactive JavaScript sites would never work. There would need to be way to download app or web app that could send messages to update state. Or way to install local server that can sync with Earth.
