No endless scroll? What the hell am I supposed do I do with my mouse wheel?? Useless!

Really needs a 20MB video playing in the background of the hero.

Damn, yeah this is exactly how I make my websites look.

inaccurate, i don't have to go three screens deep into a modal to choose only necessary cookies

Even my back button was hijacked for a second. Nice attention to detail!

It's a bit 2025. Needs a scroll hijack background animation and cursor effects to be up to date for 2026

So many websites do popups and it feels so anti-user. Maybe I get unusually annoyed, but I do not need a Gemini popup ad in Google Docs. Just let me do what I came to the website to do!

Needs to autoplay a video which when dismissed just moves to another window and continues playing. With sound.

The cookie thing, I assume it's EU-only, is an example of the EU policy making process being fundamentally broken in some way. If you create a flawed policy and don't fix it many years after it's very visibly obvious that it's a bad policy, something is really wrong.

it's funny sometimes there will be an archived espn.com (like this https://proxy.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/030418 ) and it's hard to argue the web was not better like this, i.e. readable

Because it works (AIUI "I agree" gets people to give explicit consent with good success and the subscribe modals are quite effective too)

Loaded way too fast and is way too responsive. Also when I checked NoScript, it's only loading js from lxe.github.io I expect there to be at minimum 8 domains, but often 12-18.

No agents.md?

Also on iPhones Twitter appears to have aligned their privacy reject button with where their open in app overlay appears just a second later so that you hit that instead. Too many people working on evil dark pattern bullshit

I wasn't asked for my location, notifications, camera permissions or to log in. This is, regrettably, still better than most recipe websites I visit.

There are more creative ones. Check out https://shellbox.dev

Needs a Google login popup, required for any site that there is no reason at all to have an account with.
