Sorry for being the party pooper, but my dream, 30 years ago, when I first experienced The Web with the NCSA Mosaic browser on a SUN SPARCStation LX, was definitely not that I will spend a lot of time clicking away nasty pop-ups, cookie banners and filtering 1000s of trackers. But maybe that’s just me … https://w3c.social/@w3c/113357332186868356

At W3C@30, Jun Murai spoke about "One internet and the web" "So what started from the original idea, like a dream, 60 years ago, now turned out to be a reality. And, this is a space we are working for. Standardization is really important, because it's going to be shared, and it's going to be a contribution and the platform to everybody" https://www.w3.org/2024/09/TPAC/talk/w3c30-jun-murai#talk

@Jan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange: That's not what the Internet was intended for - unfortunately, today it seems to be a mainstay that keeps the world running because many people live from it. The Internet has largely developed into a consumer-oriented medium. We got what we deserved. Unfortunately...

@jwildeboer I agree and you are not alone however there has to be a plan for someone to pay for the infrastructure and the people generating content.

@jwildeboer Why is it part of website UI?
I'd say make it part of browser, based on website (meta)data. My personal preference would be a very subtle notification outside the website area, with a default setting of "NO!"

#RSS FTW

And you aren't alone. I was a kid on the early web and was so hopeful for the future.

@jwildeboer Gopher was both faster and had a severe lack of pop-ups, filters and blink banners... Mosaic felt like a massive waste of bandwidth. This was when the whole country was linked to the global internet with a wet string.

@jwildeboer I remember in 1995 people talking about the commercialisation of the internet and how it would destroy everything. They weren't wrong.
