Yeah, but for connecting to the web, without JS, it's an example of a good browser. It does what a web browser should while also being light. And that is, displaying a web page, and images and CSS are part of that.

Also, connection speeds and browser performance are a separate issue. Though frankly, I don't think Tor is that slow compared to the web. The entire web is so slow that the difference isn't that noticeable, I'm used to some slowness.

Anyway, have you ever checked out Gemini? Lagrange is another example of a light graphical browser. When I used it for the first time, I felt it immediately, the responsiveness. It's really easy to feel that, because I'm so used to everything not being that way. Whenever I click on a menu and it opens at a normal speed, it's really noticeable, because of how unusual that is nowadays.
