    I prefer the original. The “better” one had a bit of a lag (only a fraction of a second, but in this context that’s important) loading and the “best” one has the same lag and unreadable colours.

      The original is terrible. It works ok on a phone, but on a wide computer screen it takes up the full width, which is terrible for readability.

      If you don’t like the colours, the “Best” lets you toggle between light mode and dark mode, and toggle between lower and higher contrast. (i.e., between black on white, dark grey on light grey, light grey on dark grey, or white on black)

        OK, I was on my phone. Just checked on my desktop and agree the original could do with some margins. I stand behind the rest of what I said - the default colours for the “best” are awful - the black black and red red is really garish. If I didn’t notice the dark/light mode switch and contrast adjustment does it really matter if they were there or not? There is also way to much information on the “best” one - if I’m going to a web site cold, with no expectation at all of what you might find, I’m not going to sit there and read that much text - I need a gentle introduction, that may lead somewhere.
