Thanks for another example.

Complete Side Note: I don't know... in my eyes, Lynx is looking more and more favorable by the day.

All these incessant "cookie popups" have driven me to get stricter and stricter with my blocking. (Few months ago wrote a Reddit post explaining how/what lists I use.)

Bloated/meaningless images on sites has led me block all images >30KBs (loadable on click if needed OR I can enable on a page-by-page basis).

But the absolute worst of the worst lately are auto-playing videos that scroll as you scroll down... Chrome/Firefox have been trying to introduce play-on-click, but so many of these sites implement videos in ways that don't follow those settings. (Don't know if those browser auto-playing settings work only on HTML5 <video> or what.)

I've also blocked all Javascript and whitelist on a site-by-site basis, but some of these disgusting videos still get through...
Don't laugh. I am now using Chromium Edge for mySAAS--I don't know WTH has happened with Chrome, but it slows so badly during the day I literally cannot use it--but I'm using Lynx for my personal browsing. I mean, sorry, websites, but I'm not a gerbil that needs to be constantly assaulted with videos, pretty colors, flying whatevers, banners, ads...enough!

I HATE those damn auto-playing videos!
