How is the web browser experience on the ReMarkable? It kinda sucks on the Kindle and forces me to consider an iPad to make up for open access.

I would say if you want a web browser, it's probably not the right device for your use case.

I have a Remarkable 2, and I really enjoy it, but it's more like an upgraded replacement for the legal pad/notebook I would carry around at work.

It does notes and sketches really well. But there's no browser by default on the device. I appreciate it, since it keeps me focused on what I'm doing without distractions (like HN :D ).

There is no web browser on the ReMarkable. On purpose. Their mentality is that the device should be a distraction-free note-taking, idea-sketching tool.

There's no web browser, but in theory there's a "send to remarkable" plug-in for other browsers (basically print to pdf;sync to remarkable). It's not really usable, for various reasons imnho.

No web browser on the remarkable (at least stock). Stock it is literally just a note taking device, which I personally find appealing.

I also like the large sized reader. It's not something I need anyone but when you find a technical manual or text book as a pdf only the remarkable is a pretty good reader. I do like the Kobo for most of my reading but it's nice not for the oddly shaped big stuff.
