    On my phone, this page has a black background and very dark gray text. It is a nightmare to read.

    It appears to be because I’m running NoScript. Turning it off for the domain made the text white. I’m not sure why the site needs Javascript to be readable.

      For the cookies, Consent-o-matic could help with that. It doesn’t work on all pages, but it speeds things up.

      I’ve always wondered about cookie consent. After arriving at a website, are the cookies in suspended animation until you click ‘reject’ or ‘accept’. It would seem that session cookies can’t help but already be on your HDD, however, 3rd party cookies might not be until you click ‘accept’ or pick and choose which ones you want to keep. I’ve never really done in depth research on cookies on my HDD. I have ‘Strict’ and ‘Max Protection’ settings in Firefox, and I use Cookie AutoDelete set to delete all cookies after 1 sec. This might be an exercise to explore on my network.

      We will get to that in the Big Tech Walkout 2026 programme. This is for people who have no idea about tech, and struggle to know the difference between a search engine and a browser. Imagine them trying to install Linux 😂

      Baby steps

        I agree that baby steps are important. So many of the less techy people I know have become so accustomed to being annoyed at tech that they just suppress it, thinking that there is no alternative. I’ve been told a few times that my freely incandescent rage at technology is validating because “if even [I] are frustrated at things, then it’s not just a problem of [them] being bad at tech”.

        Step one is acknowledging the problem

      This is meant for beginners in the privacy space, and as such, it tries to minimize complications and barriers to entry.

      Installing Linux is a nuclear option for most people. Of they see that, they just…won’t, and also won’t complete the rest. Make it easy.

      Also, the article mentions this is not the end. Next year may come with harder things, including - yes - Linux.
