| While I appreciate this kind of solutions, in my brain all I can think is: what the hell is wrong with the web today? I mean, what did we do to ourselves? How the hell did we ruin the web experience this much? Looking back in the 90s, the web wasn't the most pretty thing but how simple it was. You went to a news website and that was it. Click, read, the end. These days however: - Go to a news/content website - wait for the 40MB of useless CSS and JS "minified" crap
to download. - Agree with 2 or 3 huge popups to allow collect your data - Get a new popup to make you disable your ad-blocker plugin. And if you disable it, you need to refresh the page all over again. - Get a "subscribe to our newsletter" popup - Get tracked by amazons, facebooks, etc... - And once you finally click on an article.... get another popup to subscribe to their premium paid content... Seriously, we broke the web, and now we are trying to fix it with putting more plugins and tools on top of this problem. I just feel the web is fighting against us and our browsers, and in the end everyone will loose. |
Additionally, web browsers were never built for easy monetization of web content; being under the control of the end user.
