     @256 yeah... speaking of, recently tried to find something with Links. Turns out both Google and DDG do not work with Links any more - I had to use Bing.

     @256 The lack of alt descriptions for these two screen captures is intentional in an ironic way, surely?

     (For visually impaired people: the left image shows a man and a woman sitting facing each other at a table. The woman is sitting behind two laptops side by side. A caption shows that she says, "And actually, I surf with image off." The right images shows just the woman, with the caption reading, "I just want to get in there, get my informaiton, and get out.")

     I had a corporate website that required us to use IE6 and ActiveX support on that website. I looked up what it was actually using ActiveX for that made me unable to use a decent browser.

     They used ActiveX to load DirectX, and DirectX to grayscale the login button.

     @mangeurdenuage Why could images requires JS? The fuck is wrong with "modern" web "devs"?

     Sure, images can be and are often used in useless ways, such stupid non-sense, ginournous illustrations from image stocks, linking to other articles in the middle of whatever users are actually trying to read…

     But sometimes the actual information users are looking for IS an image (schematics, photographs…)

     The problem is not browsing with images on, the problem is stupid web devs/corpos…
