Wow, it turns out I'm not the only person to have ever used "privacy browser".

I still have it in case some page has issues with Firefox (probably the issue is not actually with Firefox but with the extensions I installed).

I only stopped using privacy browser as my daily driver because it uses WebView which is based on the Chromium engine and therefore makes the Chromium monopoly bigger. But it was still a nice browser.

Around year 2004 I had to stop using lynx.

Sorry but web apps killed web sites.

Of all the things that might justify needing a SPA framework, serving a page of static news articles is way way down the list.

It’s a transaction- it’s fine from their point of view as they have to pay journalists. Is there and ad- free pay option?

tracking, ads, cookies, probably bot detection, too. they want it all running and enabled.

fuck 'em. on desktop, i just drag over the headline and search via right click menu for an alternate site that re-publishes nyt articles or has one that covers the same thing.

1ft.io displays that article, albeit without many of the images. Link.

yea I hate this too; RSS is just a tease

Slotos ,

Welcome to the world of SPAs. Where every little thing needs its own application.

Damn it, we even have HTML tags that are impossible to employ in their entirety without use of JavaScript. <dialog> is infuriating and is literally two attributes away from not needing JavaScript.

Except on Chrome. Dialog is broken on Chrome and you will have to clean up with JavaScript after chrome’s own half assed implementation.

When I was young and having fun building my own personal sites, I made sure everything could work without Javascript. Now I'm an Angular developer for work and I die a little more each day.

Funny how that works

The difference between a SPA and any other site these days is simply where the application runs and what languages you can build it with, though less the latter with options like wasm.

JS is the web now. Been going this direction for quite some time.

I wish every website can works without JS like deep web, no JS, no bullshit, lightweight, just pure HTML/PHP/CSS

MonkderZweite ,

Lightweight isn't the word i would use for anything web tho.
