Every big web site in 2024 looks like the sites people warned you not to visit in the 90s
Captcha buster is taking care of the captchas now at least. A robot that proves I’m not a robot. Is this the singularity yet?
No, but it’s definitely a boring dystopia.
In europe we have a “reject all” button for cookies and it’s fantastic
We also have this glorious extension which just fucks them all off:

Use I STILL don’t care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.
Or you can enable “Annoyances” filters in uBlock Origin for the same effect
Also interesting; I didn’t realise I hadn’t turned those on. thanks!
There seems to be a lot of options. Which ones do I pick? :/
Just turn it all on until something breaks!
Internet in 2024 (for me):
- Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
- Confirm you’re a human (VPN)
- Blank page (noscript)
- Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
- Page not found (https required)
The percentage of websites that “just work” with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.
There is no such thing as an unintrusive advertisement.

Most of all, I was sick of the captcha from cloudflare.
On some sites, there was endless checking and it was impossible to view the content of the site.
