This is so true it hurts.

The current web has almost been made unbearable.

Everyone who needs a break, can take a look at: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/

It's so real that I had to enable 3rd party scripts in uBlock Origin to get past the second page, is that intentional?

My rule is the first bullshit to popup I flip to reader mode. If it doesn’t display in reader mode, it’s wasting my time, time to close.

Only thing they missed was a popup asking me to please not leave if I move my mouse near the top edge of the tab.

Nowadays, when I see news about some new law that's gonna ruin the web I just have a sad chuckle. That ship has sailed. And they didn't even need shitty laws to do it.

In my default browser with all extensions it's a great experience. had to switch browsers to get why it was posted.

Good CaptainObvious. The site has been made on purpose to illustrate these behaviors, there's no function/cookies/logic code behind. Switching browser doesn't change anything as it is fake.

Jeez....
