I hate Digikey's too (tons of script dependence even in the checkout page, including a recaptcha iirc). Really by now, I'd rather bypass the web site altogether and just use an ordering API instead. Digikey actually has that, but they only offer it to large customers. Seems lame.
- mindslight 5y agoWhile I agree with you completely, I find that ship has sailed. Most web stores pop up recaptchas, and have extremely heavy javascript. I find it utterly unprofessional, but somehow it's acceptable in this new age. I'd love for APIs, especially common APIs, where consumer-agent software could create one cart that would optimize between vendors on price/shipping minimum/etc. But that's not in webstores' interest for the obvious reason of decommodification.
