So also known as TLS with support for evesdropping. I doubt even an expert would be able to browse the web securely in that model.

#24HN is the only place on the Internet where I hear about Gemini. Excluding Gemini itself.
I'm all in for a simpler Internet, but on HTTP(S), with images and other media if needed

#25A browser^, at a minimum, should support HTML + CSS (+1 if it supports the latest specification). Edit : ^A modern browser
By that definition, many screen reader browsers would not be considered browsers yet they enable the user to surf the web none the less.
As stated by robin_reala, that is not how screen readers work. At minimum they still definitely parse CSS as many accessibility enhancements were only introduced by CSS with no equivalent (or even a workaround) using pure HTML, and in practice will also require to have JavaScript support because when a website decides to be an obnoxious GPU-hungry Flutter application even CSS wouldn't cut it.

Distraction-free access to information. Like reading a book.

It should not support CSS, just HTML, HTTP and HTTPS.
The browser should render the document based on its semantics and the users preference.
