Is w3schools still that bad? I know that it used to be awful in the past, but IIRC they managed to do a complete 180 in this regard. I'm not into webdev but I occasionally check how to use a particular feature on there and it always delivers a pretty good reference.

- hobofan 3y agow3schools garnered a reputation for stating outright wrong facts. I think they rectified that part, but I think the way they break down information is still far inferior to MDN on basically every topic.
- mattmanser 3y agoIt is better than it was, but I'd still much prefer to see the mdn, it's much better.
- zarzavat 3y agoI can see a certain kind of absolute beginner enjoying w3schools more than MDN, it’s a little less intimidating. When you’re first learning a subject you often want simple lies more than complicated truths.
- throwaway2037 3y agoThis is a well written post. I describes me perfectly and my knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS. I usually start with w3schools, then if I need deeper info, I repeat the search with "mdn". That does the trick!
- lolinder 3y agoAnd this is exactly why the custom domain block list is so useful. Blocking w3schools entirely would be unhelpful to beginners, but a lot of experts find their content to be less helpful than that on other websites and would rather not see them at all.
