	tl;dr: A satirical page mocking the state of modern websites, particularly the ubiquitous COVID-19 notices and cookie consent banners that appeared on every site in 2020. It jabs at EU/CA privacy regulations for creating mandatory, inconsistent popups that browsers can't universally dismiss, while sarcastically blaming users for voting the laws into existence.
	HN Discussion: ↑The parody is incomplete and should include more modern web annoyances like autoplay videos and app prompts ↑The demo site loads too fast and uses too few third-party scripts to be realistic ↑EU cookie policy is fundamentally broken and demonstrates failed policy-making ~User-hostile popups persist because they measurably boost conversions and business metrics •Users can work around bad web design using Reader View and similar tools
