    Hear me out: part of me welcomes that.

    Currently, most websites are awful to browse, and a few are not. If we switch to a world where most are inaccessible to me, and a few are nice, then I’ll spend less time being frustrated by cookie popups and the like.

    Like, if a site’s going to be terrible, I almost prefer it just not let me in at all.

    As an example, I used to click the occasional Twitter link. Now that I can’t see comments, I refuse, and life is a bit improved.

      I tried to read comments on a TwiXXer link the other day and was unsuccessful. I thought I was just misclicking or something. You’re telling me it’s on purpose?

      That’s stupid as fuck.

      I’m with you. I’ve started using firefox with no extensions, not even ad-blocker. Whenever I am annoyed by a website autoplaying sound in a popup or asking me to sign up for their newsletter or whatever, I look at the URL and think: this website is dead to me now.
