[idoubtit]

A large part of this guide is totally unimportant to me. I don't think I would detect a change in some of these policies. It's probably already changed in the past years, and I've never seen it while reading the Guardian daily.

The problem with this focus on design consistency and cosmetic features is that they loose the global view. I pay for the Guardian, and I'm glad to pay for their content, yet I still have to use uBlock to hide some annoying blocks. I've also painfully configured uBlock to disable carrousels (how am I supposed to read anything with images sliding next to it?). And I still prefer their website with JS turned off, though it breaks a few things.

I'd prefer an ugly and inconsistent frontpage, even a plain table of titles, if there was a way to, for instance, display the most important news of the last X=5 days in the category Y=International, etc.

> It's probably already changed in the past years

The Guardian's website has changed very little since 2015 or so[0]. The logo, fonts, and colour palette have evolved in 2018, but the structure, grid, or even the category colours (orange for opinion, blue for sport, etc.) have not changed at all.
