   The web is a really unfriendly place when you use a browser that blocks cookies and JavaScript, and do it from behind a VPN

   Almost every article I try and read wants me to prove I'm a human in order to read it. Find the chimneys, click the crosswalks, hold this button, solve this math problem

   I'm not trying to leave a comment, I'm just trying to read an html document

   I can't imagine how hard it is for someone who uses a screen reader

   The web is supposed to be simple, how did we mess it up?

     @TomLarrow We allowed shit like #JavaScript to become mandatory and not optional.

     Personally, I refuse to use any website that isn't useable in #Lynx-Browser and to not be a ridiculous hipocrite I did put my own website upon the same standards.

     Plain HTML, no JS, CSS, Tracking, Cookies or other bullshit that is neither "technically necessary" nor otherwise justifyable.

     In fact, #Cookies never were technically necessary since we have HTTP-AUTH & SSL!
