... And then you setup uBlock Origin, block 3rd party and resist fingerprint, and no single website will ever work correctly again.

Don't you love it when a website is incapable of showing anything but a blank screen when javascript is disabled

Don't you love it when you view source and its all there and fully functional, but the body has display: none; because Web Framework of the Minute™ has convinced web designers that fancy animations are the bee's knees

They all deliberately act like they don't know what Progressive Enhancement is

I'm honestly okay with that if it makes sense for the website.

A massive web app? That's fine.

Your 2 page blog that you built using React and added 7 UI libraries? just turn on SSR ffs

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

If it makes sense, yeah.

In a lot of cases it just doesn't.

Whats surprising to me is how many websites are completely functional

[–] ares35@kbin.social 20 points 1 year ago

i have ad and script blocking, plus a few other things. if a site doesn't work. big deal, i'll go elsewhere.

certain news sites in particular don't seem to understand that they are not the only one with 'the scoop'. lock an article behind a paywall, i'll just click and drag that headline, then right-click and search. boom a dozen other non-paywalled sources for coverage of the same story, some with your exact article, even.

Or install Librewolf and get all that out of the box

This is the correct answer.

That moment of anger and confusion when you install a fresh Firefox and type in "ublock origin" in the address bar and get violated by Google's consent popup. The frustration with yourself because you should've known better as you go to addons.mozilla.org and type your query in yet another search box, setup uBlock Origin, block 3rd party and resist fingerprint, and no single website will ever work correctly again. With Privacy Badger also installed ;p

The only site that doesn't work for me is imagur

[–] visnudeva@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

And when you sync it and you only get your bookmarks and history but you have to disable again the data collection and google as a search engine and you have to set up again it's looks...

i find it funny when a site only works with third party scripts and frames allowed. white page otherwise.

like why are you requesting the most stuff on your website from third parties?

[–] tonyn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I go a step further and install uMatrix, and then only unblock the resources that are essential for a site to work right.
