this is much better than the standard: cookie accept menu,adds, playing video blasting full force, affiliate links with watered down content

Mootools FTW!

Dojo would like a word.

The website makes bold claim of being best viewed in Netscape 3. That does not seem to be the case though https://i.imgur.com/WKpmd28.png

The whole website is nothing but nostalgia bullsh*t :D

It's written with Vue js

I'm on mobile. It loads quick. I saw no ads. It was reasonable straight to the point: no explanation about this being grandmothers pie recipe or anything to that effect. (In fact, if you consider the point of the website to be funny it is actually straight to the point.) If it is fast, doesn't track me and provides the answers I need I can put up with some animations. I'd say what we have today is far more problemati…

The only thing worse about this than whichever 2020-era website was the "Right click is disabled!" as I tried to leave. (That made me chuckle). The other stuff is just nostalgia and not really related to the degradation of web UX. Irrelevant gifs and ugly colors are easier to ignore than 1000-page cookie dialogs.

For Firefox/Librewolf users, you can hold shift when you right click to bypass scripts that try to disable your ability to right click.

I laughed when that popped up for me. A very authentic experience.

Upvote for serious criticism. I still take this over: - the noncompliant cookie warnings - ... with >400 "partners" (yes, I have counted) - works best in IE^HChrome - 20 seconds loading - written for Googlebot, instead of for a human like either the author or me. (Meaning it is bland, formula-driven.) websites I often deal with as long as it provides the answers/entertainment I am looking for.

> with >400 "partners" You can update the number to 500, as that's what Yahoo has (something like 530, but I don't remember for certain).

I was on a news site, might have been a newspaper site, and it had 640... beat that! :)

awww come on where's the html4 DTD?

I also think the site is severely lacking in terms of light blue characters against a yellow background xD

also: table layout missing?
