We need to bring Gopher back

Forgot:
>notification request- this website would like to send you news straight to your computer, it'll work even if chrome isn't open!

never succ ads

Only slightly related, but is it illegal to have a regular .uk website without it also be a .co?
I dont think i have ever seen one without the other.

>pop up doesn't close when you hit escape
>x button is white on a light grey background

Just stop using those site and improve your adblocking setup.

Gopher is too much annoyance for little benefit - if businesses had to get on it it would be equally as shit. Problem is with incentive not technology.

.gov.uk

This holy shit

>chrome

Also add Pop-up blocker

>notification request- this website would like to send you news straight to your computer, it'll work even if chrome isn't open!
Jesus this shit is so bad, every time I see old fucks computers nowadays the second you turn it on you get blasted with 1000 things because boomers just click yes to get spammed with bullshit, makes me miss the IE with 15 toolbars of the 2000s, at least those waited till you opened the browser to annoy you.

>>autistically spend over an hour per site to allow/disallow specific content
Damn, that's embarrassing if it takes you that long.

It just needs a simple way to download entire gopherholes. Wget doesn't work with gopher.

But I do like plaintext files over HTML because you don't need an increasingly bloated and shitty piece of software (the web browser) to view its content. But, saying that, there's no reason not to use HTML to construct directories and just point wget --mirror at the HTTP site and let it come down.

>2.0
is it 2008 again?

2008+++++++++++

Tab immediately closed when I see this, cause I always have to solve Captchas because of Tor.

Jow Forums is the only exception for me, because it is one of two boards where I can shitpost + say that muslims all deserve to end in a gulag in russia, without getting banned for it.

>website tries to block right clicks

Only exception for reCaptcha, should’ve added this. Luckily they’re not using cloudflare.

Eternal 2008.

Also:
>We are detecting your browser...

That the browser lets it is bullshit.

How did we get to the point where transferring an image is hard work?

Fucking CNN/NBC/ABC/CBS

They all hired the same programmer

Worked fine until these shit sites realized all people wanted was the media. Made Google change it. Still works fine on Yandex and others.

And then they have the gall to complain about server costs when sending you 10+MB of shit, when all you want is about 100KB of text.

You logged in from a new site. Give us your phone number to confirm your identity.

>all people wanted was the media.
Yeah, no shit. What did they think people wanted from a media hosting platform?

This is the worst part of the modern web. It's so complicated and frustrating. I mean, the old web was just slow. It was never half as petty.

About the only thing I can think of is GeoCities' bullshit cooldown.

>google search a image

>open the image's website, the image is nowhere to be seen.

about:config
dom.event.contextmenu.enabled false

>lol here be dragons XD
It's all so tiresome...

And they removed the built-in reverse-search button

JUST

It should be a default setting. I can't be arsed to remember every tweak you need to make to about:config

>uses google search engine
>complains that google does google-like things to it

Having a service that works well, updating it and completely destroying is something "Google-like"?

yes

I was so fucking pissed when this happened recently I closed the tab immediately

I've stuck to the same few sites for years now. Jow Forums. Some technology news. My bank. That kinda stuff. So when I do venture out it's always a shock. Even shady Russian porn sites have more respect for you.

>Haha remember banner ads how annoying yikes!

Websites that open a fucking autoplay a video when you click on them should be fucking taken off the internet with the heads of their designers put on pikes as a warning to others.

The best is not even getting text to load until you enable 3rd party js on a site. lmao fuck yourself. Same with ajax and jquery.

This shit is the reason id gladly glass the planet if given the option.

Giving people access to any modicum of tech and they'll fuck it up.
