Yea but do you guys remember when we actually needed pop up blockers to avoid having a site spawn like 10 new windows behind the current one, and tabs didn’t really exist yet, and the popups had adult content and sometimes they autoplayed sound/video? Like, internet explorer 6 era? Sometimes I miss those days

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.

All buttons and links need to shift around for a good 10 seconds before the page settles.

I was waiting for the overlay that hides the content until you turn off your ad blocker. Which of course is a trap because as soon as you do it covers the content in ads.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

it's an example of malicious compliance by some, and herd mentality by others. I had a discussion with my CFO about removing the cookie banner from our website (because we don't set any tracking cookies, and cookies for things like login are exempted) and he said "yeah, but it makes the site seem less legitimate.

You could have a 'no cookies' badge that links to your cookie policy - 'we use no tracking cookies and so are compliant with EU law ... then list any cookies/local-storage used and explain what they're for.

But then you can't have tracking cookies.

It also loaded too fast because it has no (ai-generated/3d/high color contrast) 10MB background image in the hero section
