Try disabling Javascript and browsing the web. On the sites that work, its a lot nicer. No cookie pop-ups, no auto-playing videos that chase you as you scroll down, no random pop-ups asking you to sign up for a newsletter. No browser fingerprinting to sell my behavior to advertisers or worse. Just no more dirty tricks in general. Unfortunately, these dirty tricks are how companies make money, so they have an incentive to make websites not work for users with Javascript disabled.
