> or something which should be decent but has obnoxious functionality added with JS (e.g. cookie banners, tracking, floating headers), possibly gratuitously broken without JS (let’s hide the content with CSS and then show it with JS!) because whoever created it has no comprehension of their craft.
I especially hate the cookie popups that enable everything by default, then give you a massive list of stuff to disable by hand at font size over 9000px, then still forced-enabling a few without ever explaining why, basically just making the environment as hostile as possible.
It's already hostile enough to having to see a cookie banner with just "accept" and "deny" only.
I just want to see website content, not websoyte bloat!

Cookie artificial "law" by the Eww is yet another example on how government interference only makes things worse, even if meant well.

@ryo @wrongthink Cookies don't even matter if you are always using Private Browsing.
@xianc78 @ryo I only ever see them put to use in order to keep a site session logged in. Cookies can be 100% blocked otherwise, and trackers seem to have given up on 3rd party cookies.
There’s only one site I’m aware of which idiotically relies on cookies for basic functionality. Bitchute can’t follow links without handing off a ‘csrftoke’ cookie. You either need to open everything in a new tab or accept the first party cookie.
@wrongthink @xianc78 I can understand CSRF tokens for comments, as it's there to cut off the amount of spam.
But for clicking on links it's rather overkill.

And even then, cookies are just a minor privacy issue, and they had to turn it into a major browsing problem.
