I shouldn’t have to explain a joke[1] but yes: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/eww.html

[1] This phrase is a self-deprecating remark about my own joke making abilities, not a slight at parent.

Did you mean for this to be as condescending or off-putting as it comes across? I'm really trying to be generous in my interpretation but I'm not sure how else to read it.

Condescending towards Emacs users? No.

There’s a general theme in Emacs users’ testimonials that you end up doing everything in Emacs. For many that includes web browsing. Hence the joke.

It doesn’t include web browsing for me but no condescension intended. If you don’t like my joke, that’s okay. I’m sorry.

Edit: Also not intended to be condescending towards your grandparent commenter. Apologies again.
