I'll enshrine this post it encapsulates something that I always struggled to put into words.

And, the sites end up eating battery.

[–] Gameline@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 days ago

And, the sites end up eating battery.

Yeah, but they would have done that in 2005 too, if you were using them on a device with a battery.

UX my ass. These “improvements” only hinder the user.

[–] currycourier@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago

I suppose they never specified it was supposed to be a good user experience?

I like that I'm financially comfortable enough to pay for shipping and not give Bezos a cent.

Use Librewolf + Ublock origin with cookie popups filter turned on and medium mode on when needed.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 5 days ago

Yeah, Librewolf is kinda the best web browser. I still need to use Firefox for some things that just have to be invasive, like I think my bank needs the browser to be a little less locked down, but man I love just browsing the web and only seeing what I want to see.

It used to be that the ads, viruses and tracking were on the web pages, but now we are so blessed that they are built into our browsers and operating systems! Talk about optimization!

Was the cookies popup really 3 years ago already?

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 11 points 4 days ago

They've been around for over half a decade.

[–] jumping_redditor@sh.itjust.works 12 points 5 days ago

it is bad enough on some websites to make me wish I could just use a mail catalog thing

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

Imagine having to navigate that site to buy a new monitor, without a monitor.
