Ah yes. Before the dark times. When dragons lay sleeping.
I would add that if isa News website, the 1000 words article is just a verbatim copy from Reuters.
I want more info about [something happening], not to read the same article with minimal information again and again.
Who made this?
There used to be a link at the bottom for who made it, but it appears to be missing now.
Also:
Endless redirects that attempt to keep you on the site when you want to nope right out and click the back button
Idk about chrome but ok Firefox you can right click to go backer
It is always the Microsoft Help Center/Community answers
the biggest mistake of humanity was (and still is) javascript
One ring to bind them all…
And politically biased content… fuck you Reddit
Missed the half-dozen boilerplate SEO sites that scraped the most generic and unhelpful information possible that feature links to whatever barely tangential software or product they might be selling.

Inrelevant information
SO MANY ADS, INRELEVANT INFORMATION, TRACKERS
I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:
I switched to DuckDuckGo a while back and even that was beneficial. I can always tell when I’m on a different machine and I forget to switch the default search… It’s wild how fast they’ve fallen.
These days I setup ollama with open webui to host my own ai. Then you can connect Searxng to that and have the AI search the web for you and return no nonsense results.
For what is worth, I have yet to see a temu ad
It’s called ublock origin and no script and one other add-on I have on icecat that blocks third-party connections.
inrilevant
I think they forgot to mention ads
Apart from usual ubo, reader mode and friends trained eyes are very effective content filter. We all can glance on a search result page or an article and immediately know if it’s content or low effort craps.
Stay out of mainstream social media, stop consuming ‘feeds’. Stay in the realms of personal sites, blogs and sane link aggregators/rss to keep mental peace of not having to filter garbage with eyes everyday.
Yeah but you get it all 1000 times faster and mum can still use the phone at the same time
