Hey local-to-me ppl - anyone else seeing something busted about the City of Kitchener's web site? Is Kitchener on any of our fediverse TLs?
I'm getting the home page loading "greyed out" and entirely inoperable for me, same result across multiple cache-clearings and reloads in 3 different browsers.

Their HTML/CSS is causing it.
If you hit F12, go to Console and paste this in, it will fix it:
document.getElementById('site-footer').style.display = 'none';
Chrome will tell you not to do that and you shouldn't trust me! But it works. You'll have to do it page by page but using the up-arrow in Console will save you re-typing it.
thanks! That's more clear how-to than I had at my fingertips, though I knew I could probably hack my way to something I specifically wanted.
Unfortunately that doesn't fix what is actually my concern is that how does a civic gov't portal manage to break itself like this for more than like, the 30 seconds it takes between "deploy that change" and "oh shit, our verification immediately caught the problem".
I literally went there to explore the UX and searchability of one of these "NEW! Try our AI Agent help tool!" promos that everyone and their crabby uncle is trying to slap in front of their users for ... <mumble-something> reasons.
So this is quite the laugh.
