You thought you were visiting 1 website? Ha! Here’s 24 websites! All at Once!
nightmare website design
lmao, seriously it is getting ridiculous out there. There are days where I spend an hour or two looking up some of the domains on a site I try to visit to see if they are ad platforms, trackers, etc. My untrusted list is fat, and gets fatter every day it seems.
I just block everything out of the gate. The harder a site is to use, the less likely I’ll use it.
Helps keep me from useless browsing too
Yep, I default block everything and only test around to see what I need to allow.
I’m almost at that point. As it is now (depending on the importance of needing to access the site), I’ll spend 2-5 minutes attempting to get the site to operate without allowing obviously shitty scripts. If that fails, then I’m moving on.
A webdev needed just one function from a framework so he included the whole thing. A guy I know rewrote the necessary code from the framework himself in less than a day and deleted the framework eventually. Saved 30 MB!
“guy I know” > webdev
desire to do the thing vs on-paper qualifications
The guy I know has Bachelor’s degree in applied computer sciences. I trust him more than that unknown webdev with unknown qualification before him.
… vs desire to do the thing + on-paper qualifications.
I guess both is good
At least they have Onetrust to enable cookie and privacy preferences. Done right it can be give a fair balance of privacy and site monitoring, when integrated with Adobe DTM and Quantum Metric.
Just trying to see my phone bill man, I know I trusted those for some good reason.
Yeah the rest is some bullshit
TIL someone still uses NoScript.
It actually pairs quite nicely with uBlock.
