Yet “Ploum” hasn’t discovered the minimalist FR?
“...spams every second of our life with ads, beep, notifications, vibrations, blinking LEDs, background music and fluorescent titles.” — No kidding. Sites now have three or four popups you have to dismiss, endless embedded videos, and tons of crap I don’t want to see. I use the “Reader” view in Safari to block most of that crap. When it rarely doesn’t work, I switch to Brave which has an even higher success record at blocking crap.
I use ExpressVPN, BitDefender TrafficLight, BitDefender TrafficLight, 1Blocker (lifetime 153,265 actions blocked as of just now) and Safari to block trackers. The number of trackers is astounding.
I like that sites are now adhering to the law that they have to ask your consent to put cookies on your computer. Lots of the cookie consent pages are awful, but I’m finding that my preferences are carrying over.
The web is a colossal mess.
“Yet “Ploum” hasn’t discovered the minimalist FR?”
This article was referred to me on ZeroNet. Most everyone there uses P2P decentralized selfhosted networks.
So they don’t cruise the top tier indexed net much. But excellent point. From the first time I came to the Free Republic I have appreciated the fantastic minimalist script!
In fact, as soon as I started to read that article the FR hit my mind. :)
Be online like it’s 1989: Synchronet! No web, no problem!
