    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.

      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.

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

          you can build it with a framework, but maybe build it on the server side instead. I’ve seen many nice sites that hardly use any javascript and instead of a bunch of api calls, the server just returns new html to render.
