Nothing important or real was lost.

It generally works for me.

What a BoB!

Most of the time though, a site breaks because Pihole stopped some shitty JS from running and the site couldn’t handle it properly.

Safari forever.

Tried to go back a year later and it was still noticeably laggy. Never bothered since.

I do have to use chrome occasionally to test/fix compatibility for stuff I make for work.

I switched to safari to see if I could survive on it. Once every couple of months I need to use chrome for something (like a broken web site), but generally haven’t missed it.

And once you extract that value, you add other bits, and it becomes harder to dislodge

I’m genuinely surprised there doesn’t seem to be an alternative that isn’t some pre-LinkedIn that’s just outdated and feels slightly scammy.

A decent job listing site doesn’t feel like it should be that hard to do and if you’re not trying to be a billion dollar company then it should be a decent way to make money.

Even with the issues of moderation, just don’t try making it a social media site.
