I’m already blocking it but manually unblocking stuff every time I visit a new webpage is getting kinda annoying. Does it make that much of a difference? Do you think it’s worth the hassle?

    I take a perverse sort of pleasure in trimming everything except for the content from a webpage. I love to see how clean it looks, just black text on a white page, no videos, no social links, no headers, or footers, or navbars, or stickies, or comments, or sidebars, or whatever the fuck “div-of-nth-type-9” is, or- everything goes but the actual content. I love blocking the cookie popups; “consent banners” as if they aren’t trying to coerce “consent.” Blocking that garbage feels like saying go fuck yourself. Viscerally satisfying.

    Worth the hassle? Nah probably not, unless you’re just a weirdo like me who enjoys stripping the bullshit off of things.
