I have the solution if you're using a Chromium-based browser:
1: Navigate to `chrome://settings/content/siteData`
2: Set *Default Behavior* to `Delete data sites have saved to your device when you close all windows`
3: In *Customized Behaviors* -> *Allowed to save data on your device*, click on the “Add” button, and add every website you need, under this format:
If you don't know the cookies you need, `[*.]example.com`
If you know, `subdomain.example.com`.
@nina_kali_nina @thatonecoder What is *not* wrong with it?
Honestly, I find myself repeatedly feeling that things are not much better than during the browser wars, now we also have features only a few browsers implement, and sites that don't really care about being portable (egregious examples include github, where it's now harder to run the interface, and you can't get download links even with JS enabled, unless your browser supports whatever feature they demand;

@nina_kali_nina @thatonecoder Mastodon (Web UI) 4.3 also started using features that narrow down the number of compatible browsers, not sure how that is now).
As for WHATWG standards, once the specification of fetch() was changed in a backwards-incompatible way, breaking sites. No versioning, no function name change...
But when the state of affairs starts reaching hundreds of megabytes for a single page load for a text article, something must have gone terribly wrong.
