@48kRAM@oldbytes.space don't forget the popup trying to get you to agree to browser notifications

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space One thing I miss from early web days was watching Mosiac, then Netscape, do it’s animation thing in the top of the browser while waiting for images to download on my crusty dial-up connection. I reckon if we tried something similar today it’d eat up an extra 2G of ram somehow and leak my passwords to the Russian mafia.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space I'd laugh if it weren't so depressingly true!

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space - have all the content and links constantly shift around as things load so you accidentally click on some scam ad that takes over your browser

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space The technologically illiterate turdballs who made cookie popups a law will have to spend eternity in hell, until they are finished clicking through every useless popup they caused.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space Tons of noise; not enough signal. I miss it when things were simpler.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space We may add "reload the site 3 times cause flaky infinite scroll JS won't load the content" to the list

@cnx@larkspur.one @48kRAM@oldbytes.space you forgot: scramble to mute the sound, fight with a CAPTCHA, enable some 3rd party js…reload…enable more js…reload…repeat until you have something, untick 20+ categories of “legitimate interest” cookies, give up & find a copy of the page in archive.org which runs /all/ the 3rd party js anyway— only to discover they purposely blocked the wayback machine.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space And then sometimes either the website or your internet is playing up and you get the wonderful experience of both :blobcatgoogly:

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space Just think, the #Republican Party wants to fix this problem while they make laws to shutdown all public libraries in the US.

@mdhughes@appdot.net @48kRAM@oldbytes.space And then you F12 to remove the blur and just find scrambled garbage or lorem ipsum, or reload and instantly pause js execution in that paticular millisecond after the content has loaded but before it gets scrambled. Or you decide that you don't want to visit the site anymore and keep your sanity.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space - find and attempt to stop the autoplaying-with-sound video - accidentally misclick on the tiny buttons, expanding the video to fullscreen - frantically click back button - repeat

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space I love the feedback on our site popup which appears after you have used the site for 2-3 seconds

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space This is why I appreciate the reader mode that has started to come up in recent browsers, especially on mobile ones. They can clean up most websites real good.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space Don’t forget text-only browsers. That was my web experience until very close to Y2K. Pages loaded faster on dialup than most do now on DSL, and you could watch it load.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space I notice lmore and more sites with a popup asking if they can play DRM content. Just another popup.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space The 2023 browser experience now applies to your operating system. Windows 11 improves in loading speed once you shut off all the default feeds.

@48kRAM@oldbytes.space Worst of both worlds: when a site doesn't load quickly, but also doesn't give you time to make tea while the images load over dial up.
