I browse the Web on a number of new and older devices. My most effective strategy is to abandon quickly sites which make demands or purposely inconvenience me.

I browse the Web on a number of new and older devices. My most effective strategy is to abandon quickly sites which make demands or purposely inconvenience me. It's just like people and businesses. I wouldn't hang out with someone rude and obnoxious. I wouldn't keep working with a company whose practices were questionable in the past. So why would I go out of my way to read some typically low-value content from a resource designed to be hostile or which tells me my browser isn't good enough? I wouldn't. I would just close the tab and eventually remember not to open links from there anymore. Whenever I adopted this no-tolerance strategy, the Web became infinitely more pleasant and welcoming. At the same time, the average quality of content I get has improved dramatically. I think there is a correlation between shitty content and shitty site construction.
