I too would like it if more web documents were available
as simply formatted blocks of text and pictures, with
links that I didn't accidentally click constantly.
That's probably not going to happen. For my part I would be happy if I could recover quickly from an accidental click.
That would be a start.
Safari on iOS is my typical example: Click on link by accident, notice your mistake, go back to original page, Safari does a full reload. If you have no network you can't continue reading. Why can't Safari cache the page and allow quick navigation, like any desktop browser?
Better yet, you go back, and the same page refreshes, because it hijacked your back button. It's 2015 and this problem has still not been resolved in any of the major browsers on the market.
I realise that in those situations I just have to click fast twice, so that the second click takes place before scripts have been loaded - but I'm sure Betty does not know that.
