“Towards a quieter, friendlier web” by @cory

🔗 https://coryd.dev/posts/2024/towards-a-quieter-friendlier-web/

> Be kind, be honest and engage on your own terms. Walk away from anything that doesn't serve you and don't be afraid to craft a browsing experience that best suits you. A healthier web is one that's slower, friendly and serves you. Eschew things that make demands of you, insist or impose upon your time and attention.
