Can anyone elaborate on [3] or at least copypaste it?

Twitter links seem to rarely work without having the app on mobile, it's disgustingly blatant dark pattern stuff.

The most “amusing” part of that thread in my opinion is this one:

> The http://mozilla.org tab discussing the importance of Privacy loads in the background, bringing along with it the Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. Hello, Google.

I suspect that says more about the state of frontend development today than about Mozillas privacy policy.

Anyway, I think Mozilla should address all these concerns ASAP.

On desktop, if you have JS turned off, it throws up a page saying "We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Would you like to proceed to legacy Twitter?"

If you click yes, it tries to set a cookie. If it can't set a cookie, it throws up a page saying "We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in your browser. Would you like to proceed to legacy Twitter?" etc.

OMG that is so much better than the original. Why don't people just write actual blog posts! It makes so much more sense than stringing together 20 tweets!
