It is interesting how much things change.

To be perfectly honest, despite some obvious drawbacks, I miss the simplicity of HTML. And I really dislike how much my every step is tracked online ( and how much it slows everything down.. my online bank when allowed to go nuts loads up for full 30 seconds in chromium; naturally it does not help that it does not want to cooperate when it is not allowed to do that ).

I guess I miss the old days.

I put up a website for a lawyer friend in EU zone recently in pure HTML ( so super simple - nothing fancy, but she did not need that much ). I did not hear any complaints, but then I sold it as a privacy consideration ( you can tell your customers you don't do any analytics, you don't pollute their device with random cookies ).
