I'll enshrine this post it encapsulates something that I always struggled to put into words.

And, the sites end up eating battery.

Also the thing you're actually looking for will be on the 3rd result page, buried under a dozen vaguely related items that are the site ''recommendation '' even though you typed the exact reference of the thing you were looking for.

I like that I'm financially comfortable enough to pay for shipping and not give Bezos a cent.

Amazon offering free shipping is a large part of why the parcel industry became a hellhole of semi-illegal subcontractors even here in Germany where labour laws exist.

Was the cookies popup really 3 years ago already?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

They've been around for over half a decade.

Use Librewolf + Ublock origin with cookie popups filter turned on and medium mode on when needed.
