Wow, the formatting of this CBC article is great. It looks like this is their 'low-bandwidth' site. I wish all my news was presented like this.

- soulofmischief 2y agoIt's a great format, only stained by the mention of advertiser tracking cookies at the very bottom.
- tomcam 2y agoBut you can opt out completely, so I’m fine with it
- cf100clunk 2y agoThe given link goes to CBC Lite version as opposed to their regular site at www.cbc.ca/news

- dan353hehe 2y agoWhole heartedly agree. At first I was confused by there being no images/media, but then I was delighted that got to choose which ones to load. No auto playing videos, or obstructive ads.
- tomcam 2y agoI would actually pay for such news sites.
- __turbobrew__ 2y agoCBC is “free” in that anyone can access it and it is funded by Canadian taxes.
- b112 2y agoAnd advertising.
- dukeofdoom 2y agoCBC is government funded. Like 1.4 billion a year. With all the Bureaucratic overhead, they can only afford to hire a basic html guy. So it's accidentally great.
- jszymborski 2y agoNice try, but there is a "non-lite" version (which is actually the default). https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-tiny-mobile-homes-1.7419805 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-tiny-mobile-h...
- dukeofdoom 2y agoWell I was being obviously sarcastic...cbc employees down voting lol
