Third option is disable JS.

Although I wish more browsers made it easier to selectively enable it per site, like Orion.

Disable JS in 2025 does NOT work. Petty much every site only works properly with JS, with some exceptions.

JS is a core part of the modern web experience. 10 years go MAYBE Noscript would work, I never bothered, you end up having to whitelist a bunch of sites anyway even 10 years ago.

I wonder why I even come to HN? Political stuff is supposedly against the rules. Yet pretty much only left wing legacy propaganda media makes it to the homepage all the time.

Always NYT, Guardian and the usual suspects, always leftist stuff. Well of course Silicon Valley is infested with woke leftist BS, I should not wonder. I guess I am here for tech news and not politics, but it always comes up anyway.

I do not trust any study used by the guardian.

Just from the heading "far-right" already a buzzword to signal to the left who the "evil" people are. And who determined who is "far" right. In propaganda news, this term is used for 10 years or whatever to describe everyone who dares to have a single opinion that is not left. "Far-right" is now used to everyone who is actually just right (often double meaning).

The heading also says "the left" so did the study compare an actual small group of "far right" people vs "the left". What were the metrics used for saying someone is "far-right"? And if they actually made the group small, then OF COURSE they get the outcome they wanted.

Or did the compare vs the "far-left"? Let me guess, of course not!

Or did they just compare "the right" vs "the left" and the Guardian just calls them that in the headline.

I frankly do not really care, I do not buy this shit. If someone wants to tell me in the comments guess I care, but I am not looking at that study because I know the outcome was already pre decided.

Only dump people still read the Guardian and other legacy media.

// Bahahahaah "Dutch study of tweets by MPs in 26 countries" says someone in the comments. Yeah, it's even WORSE than I thought. See I do not even to look into shit like this, I already know from the stupid headline it's complete utter bullshit.
