looks like rendering adblockers extensions obsolete with manifest-v3 was not enough so now they try to implement DRM into the browser giving the ability to any website to refuse traffic to you if you don't run a complaint browser ( cough...firefox )

here is an article in hacker news since i'm sure they can explain this to you better than i.

and also some github docs

Remember when the web looked like this?

The free web will never escape trackers…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're not wrong but i don't think this has anything to do with being free. If companies want to track you, they will (except for those whosr business model is privacy maybe). Regardless of how much you pay them.

I read this with Samuel L. Jackson's voice and it sounds motherfucking cool

Hot take: the internet was better when it was simpler like that.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Not hot take; correct take

Fast loading, accessible, secure, adjusts to any screen size. This might be the perfect site.

Why did we stray from the path of good and mess with JavaScript?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Serious answer: because we wanted interactive sites (ajax it used to be called, iirc), like most online shopping.

Less serious answer: indeed, what do we even need javascript for when we have marquee and blink tags?

JavaScript if done right can transform a website into something greater, like a game for instance. But excessive JavaScript on an article website can go to hell.
