You easily can compare them via e.g. the "SMOLNET PORTAL":

    <https://portal.mozz.us/>

I'd argue that today's browsers are the broken part.  In most cases they
only support HTTPS and many smolnet browsers support only one protocol
too.

The first browsers used to support many protocols and that's the status
quo we need to get back.

When Finger, FTP, Gemini, Gopher, HTTP, Nex, Spartan, ... are all just
one click away from another, we could just use the protocol that fits
the information or the use case best instead of looking for the one and
only "best" protocol.
