      Except on news websites that only give you the choice between “subscribe for X€” and “read for free (accept all)”. So annoying. Still no idea why that’s legal.

        That’s not at all legal under GDPR. Nor is having deny all be harder than accept. As is tradition however companies don’t give half a shit until fines start happening.

      In the long ago if a site needed advertising it was a small banner at the top of the page, and often hosted by the site itself with gasp an actual relationship with the advertisers or sponsors.

    Internet in 2024 (for me):

    1. Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
    2. Confirm you’re a human (VPN)
    3. Blank page (noscript)
    4. Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
    5. Page not found (https required)

    The percentage of websites that “just work” with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.

    source
    • starry@suppo.fi ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      you have to put in extra work just to make your website not work with privacy measures. like you have to put in the work to use some bloated javascript framework that doesn’t work with noscript instead of just sticking with plain html and css, which would work. on top of that, i’ve encountered way too many big websites that don’t even have a noscript tag so all you see is a ghost layout or a blank page.

      source
      • Kayana@ttrpg.network ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        That’s something I would disagree with though. “Sticking with plain HTML and CSS” is way more work, and often works significantly worse, than building a website with a framework.

        I don’t mind frameworks, but some features that seem super useful to devs, like google analytics, and various diagnostic/logging tools, social media integrations, I would prefer to “opt in” when I decide they are necessary.

        source
    • Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      honest question, what is the point of having noscript on at all times?

      source
      • Plopp@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Not the person you’re asking and I’m running uMatrix instead of noscript to block scripts. But I do it to get more granular control over what my browser loads and runs. Why run scripts if a website works perfectly fine without them? These days I ain’t trusting shit out there on the web.

        source
      • ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Technically it’s uBO, but I use the extreme setting that blocks all scripts by default. Truthfully I wasn’t aware just how many scripts get loaded especially on ecommerce and social media sites, there are too many heavy frameworks being used. Much of it is unnecessary bloat, slowing down my browser, and no small amount of it is devoted to tracking and data collection.

        In general, I find less than half of loaded cripts are required to make a page functional. It’s a process requiring trial-and-error, but I have a good set of base rules in place for trusted sites and scripts.

        For me, it’s about not giving websites free reign over my browser and by extension my computer and personal data, but having some measure of control over them.

        And occasionally there are suspicious sites where I truly don’t want any scripts to run. I don’t even have to worry about them.

      source
      • ThatFembyWho@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        The thing your missing is, when you click only allow non essential, that means it’s still 700 companies tracking you because of the great term “legitimate interest”. That’s the one you need to deactivate and this usually one by one as shown in this post.

        So yeah, you’re essentially allowing all the stuff the way you’re doing it

    • PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, too many sites I’ve done 3+ captchas and still won’t let me in, and not even the ones where 1 cell has either a shadow or a sliver of a bike tire. And reports that bots are now better at passing these than people. I won’t use a site with a pick-the-squares captcha anymore.

      Click a slider is the most I’ll do. If anyone needs me I’ll be over here hanging out with the bots that are too shitty to pass a captcha.

    The cookies being pre selected is illegal in the EU. Although I’ve seen sites that don’t care and still enable them by default

    source
    • Dicska@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      The ones I’ve seen disable the ‘consent’ bits by default, but then there’s ‘vendor preferences’ where ‘legitimate interest’ is automatically ON in 58 places (I’m not exaggerating; I have counted it) and you have to manually off all of them.

      When you click the question mark at ‘legitimate interest’, all it says is some vendors are not asking for your consent to use your data but collect it based on their legitimate interest.

      It’s infinitely vague and it has the vibe of ‘I’m not going to ask for it, I will just take it and I will use it for whatever I want anyway’.

    I encountered the mother of all captchas the other day: it had me picking a three-dimensional room diagram among six of them, matching it to a 2d top-down view of the room. It was way more time consuming than a typical captcha, and I had to do the same task five or six times.

    I think we’ll see harder and harder captchas as AI models get better and better. Eventually it won’t be a realistic option since it just costs humans time and the convenience of whatever service they’re trying to use.

    We need to develop more alternatives like federated social media or even completely make web services p2p. And then have them somewhat democratically controlled, or easily able to migrate to alternatives without cost of loosing network effects.

    Especially something like amazon / ebay / paypal / ali would be awesome to replace with a “public utility” federated version. They tax so much of the sales and it all goes to psycho billionaires.
