> The thing is, it's not your UX, it's my UX. The more power I have to easily clean out all the "design" crap websites throw at me, the better my experience and convenience in using the web.
In my opinion, absolutely not true. If a UX annoys you so much that you don't want to use a site... stop using that site. That is the power you have. Vote with your wallet. You have the power to deprive the site of your business. That's it. Not to remove ads, not to change the UX, just to stop using it.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoBut why? You're sending bytes to my computer, I get to do with them whatever I want. If you want to restrict me from doing that, DRM-ed protocols are the way to go.
- throwaway2016a 10y agoYou are receiving bytes that I pretty clearly own the copyright to. You have an implied limited license to the content. You are not buying the content. But to be clear. I actually lean towards agreeing with you up to a point. And I think the topic shifted slightly from my original intend. But it is my opinion that the point you are pushing it on other people (by bundling it with your browser) is where I draw the line. I'm okay if you, TeMPOraL do some post processing of the data but if Mozilla (a browser) or Comcast (an ISP) does it on your behalf without your say and without the content creators say. Especially considering that I am responsible for customer service on my own site.
