You thought you were visiting 1 website? Ha! Here's 24 websites! All at Once!

nightmare website design

[-] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 32 points 2 months ago

lmao, seriously it is getting ridiculous out there. There are days where I spend an hour or two looking up some of the domains on a site I try to visit to see if they are ad platforms, trackers, etc. My untrusted list is fat, and gets fatter every day it seems.

I just block everything out of the gate. The harder a site is to use, the less likely I'll use it.

Helps keep me from useless browsing too

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Yep, I default block everything and only test around to see what I need to allow.

[-] madame_gaymes@programming.dev 4 points 2 months ago

I'm almost at that point. As it is now (depending on the importance of needing to access the site), I'll spend 2-5 minutes attempting to get the site to operate without allowing obviously shitty scripts. If that fails, then I'm moving on.

A webdev needed just one function from a framework so he included the whole thing. A guy I know rewrote the necessary code from the framework himself in less than a day and deleted the framework eventually. Saved 30 MB!

"guy I know" > webdev

desire to do the thing vs on-paper qualifications

[-] Krik@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

The guy I know has Bachelor's degree in applied computer sciences. I trust him more than that unknown webdev with unknown qualification before him.

... vs desire to do the thing + on-paper qualifications.

I guess both is good

Remove the SEO-agency's access to the GTM-account. Stat!

TIL someone still uses NoScript.

[-] GuardYaGrill@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 months ago

It actually pairs quite nicely with uBlock.
