        horrid

        What problems are you having? I’m in the US. The worst that happens to me is that pages can be very slooooow to load. But only that.

        I hate the modern day internet: the walled gardens, the fountain of AI shit, etc. One reason I joined Bluesky is that I like linking to a page that has comments that doesn’t require a sign-in. But then I learn that some (many?) posters think of themselves so highly - they make their posts impossible to read without a sign-in. After that I find a workaround but that doesn’t work either?

              There are browser extensions and userscripts to stop that from happening.

              I always use one because Japanese media companies are absolute freaks when it comes to copyrights so any website that has Japanese lyrics or quotes from books uses that garbage.

                I’ll have to google. So fucking annoying.

                Rant: I don’t think it’s js and I’m pretty good at CSS but… and I used to be pretty good at CSS. The site defeated me. I think it’s CSS. There’s a gigantic amount of recent CSS stuff I don’t know about because I hate it and I certainly don’t want to spend hours and hour learning how it how to nullify it. Anyway - an extension or js will do. I’m an old guy yelling at a cloud. Googling is not a hardship.
