Not in any special order

  • cookie banners
  • auto playing anything
  • sideways scrolling

sideways scrolling

Also: scroll-jacking.

I decide how many lines I want to scroll with the wheel and I also intentionally disabled "smooth scrolling". No need to change that, thank you, stupid website!

Same thing with instagram, like when youre scrolling through reels or something it just straight goes to the next one. Ffs.

  1. Use consent-o-matic extension in Firefox
  2. Firefox seems to block auto playing videos
  3. I don't know any way to fix it, it's website's fault

cookie banner

there's an extension called "I don't care about cookie" that removes that popup and automatically accept or reject them based on how you set it up

What’s the issue with sideways scrolling?

[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's mostly annoying because there's no easy way to sidescroll and also, why would you even need to?

[–] HolyHell@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I just use my mouses scroll wheel + shift. I’m not saying horizontal scrolling is good but it’s far from the most annoying thing on websites.
