    Used to be if I found the site of a newspaper I thought I liked, I’d turn off my ad blocker to see how it goes.

    I don’t even try any more. Again and again and again, every time I turn it off the page gets so cluttered that following the article becomes a chore and takes up so many resources that even scrolling slows to a crawl. Ludicrous nonsense.

      The cluttered pages with “videos” running all over the place is what frustrates me the most. I go in and disable javascript and see how it goes. Javascript seems to be the herpes of the internet as far as I am concerned.

      I recently noticed a feature on iOS to open all new sites in Reader mode. It’s definitely more readable but mixed results when not everything is there

      There’s got to be some sort of Accessibility violation here: where’s the EU when you need someone to stand up for consumers rights
