Deviantart? Seems you're in the wrong millennium? Deviantart started in 2000 and at that time I fondly remember us making fun of 90s web design by creating mock sites with 88x31 graphics. In -97 I remember it being all the rage though. :) Three, four or five years may not sound like a lot of time, but the web was changing at a pretty rapid pace back then.
Not necessarily. Smartphones have reached a level of performance and maturity that I could easily use one for 7 years if it wasn't for the planned obsolescence. But, somehow security updates stop arriving (even for Lineage). My next handset will be a Fairphone. At least they seem to be doing what they can to keep their devices running [1].
Apple is doing better. My SO has had their iPhone SE for 5 years now and updates keep coming.
> In incognito, I get nothing similar to what I would actually watch. Nothing is even remotely similar. It's scarily different, and none of it interests me.
Same here. 100% generic clickbait crap and exactly the same stuff that shows in a Ungoogled Chromium incognito window. I hardly ever use Chromium.
I use Cookie AutoDelete, uBlock Origin, Decentraleyes and a VPN for casual surfing though.
Or of course if the browser stops providing the necessary API, which seems the most likely cause for the demise of uMatrix, at least in the shorter term.
