Occasionally when I do web stuff I look into the big frameworks but quickly get overwhelmed and go back to simple html/css/js, so yeah I kind of just don't get what the point is or why anyone needs or wants complexity there. Large websites always do most stuff serverside anyway it seems, so where is this complexity even getting used? It is very mysterious to me. Suspect Google etc. are pushing stuff no one needs in this regard as well to move the web towards something only they can handle.

They are funded by Google. I much prefer the "some random guys or whoever will fork their code" model of software for this sort of thing.
What's stopping web standards from being made simple or unchanging enough for a smaller project to maintain a functional web browser?
I went through the instructions with the removing other extensions and resetting things and pasting filters etc. multiple times but it kept breaking, ended up switching to FreeTube. Maybe they've got it by now but I'm going to wait until it all shakes out more, too much hassle.
Plus if you read the article, you can't tell how it works overall just because it works for you, because YouTube is treating different groups of users differently here.
It keeps breaking on FF too tho
Never park there again
I wonder if they could use some kind of substance that just smells really bad instead then
Because I only drink very small amounts, rarely, and I have a tin of coffee I got years ago that I plan to continue using for more years. Caffeine pills would be harder to get the dose I want and it would be harder to obtain them than just making coffee, so there is no point.
I mostly only use youtube for music, so my only complaint is that it's some extra clicks to get a url in my clipboard I can use with my yt-dl script
I wasn't able to get it consistently working so I started using FreeTube instead of a browser, which seems to work without hassle
That seems like "business" more than technology
Isn't that their main source of revenue?
