It's both pleasing and a little disappointing to see this being "marketed" under the name "web0" --- especially on a "nonstandard" TLD. All websites used to be simple handwritten hyperlinked pages. I guess what's old is new again?

Of course, Big Tech would want you to use its browser (not browser_s_) and indulge in the insane complexity of "the web stack" which guarantees its monopoly, but it doesn't have to be that way for everyone. Maybe once more people realise the latter, the web can become mostly-browser-neutral again.

Ah, yes, I remember this from web0: Trying to make web3 go away is just as pointless as trying to make web2 go away. It's here, it's going to stick around. Yes, there's a lot of hype, it probably won't look the same in 10 years, and yes there's a lot of charlatans, but I think ignoring its importance is myopic.

I guess this is the webdev equivalent of meta commentary in the media where somebody doesn't actually talk about anything other than what their reaction to it means.

Most blog posts are the same

Theyre just Super comments nobody’s can reply directly to

Inspected the page. What does this stuff do? > window["_gaUserPrefs"] = { ioo : function() { return true; } }

Are you running the "gaoptout" extension? ( this thing: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-analytics-o...)

That snippet is what it injects to opt you out of Google Analytics.

I do not see that snippet in the page source.

whats wrong with css

CSS and styling are immoral. Styling is used to manipulate readers. Content should stand on its own, anything that looks nice should be immediately met with skepticism. What are they trying to hide with their pretty background colors and hover styles?

edit: also, can we talk about unneeded bloat? Those 5kb css files add up, how many tons are coal are burned every year because of all of those CSS files being downloaded over the internet?
