This is my country's train company (renfe) website. It's quite minimalistic and loads really fast. Oh, right, I forgot... I must RUN javascript to see the website because apparently using HTML and CSS is too hard...

Now it works, it took a while to load as it downloaded 4 MB of data (compressed) just to show this page. I have uBlock Origin still enabled blocking all the crap this website has.Let's see the top bar... "Viajar" (travel, in english) with the CSS3 logo... wonder why... oh yeah, because they are using a font for icons instead of SVGs, and it collides with my default font which includes those already. Let's also enable remote fonts, because why use the installed ones...

I decided to disable uBlock Origin because it was giving some trouble on this "perfectly fine" website, and what do I find loaded onto my browser... You guessed it, adobe tracking, cookie consent shit and more... just to buy a fucking train ticket from Spain's train operator (owned by the State, not private).I didn't consent to cookies yet, but the third-party JavaScript has been downloaded from Adobe's domain, so they know who I am before consenting...

Ok, so I'm a non-spanish person who is planning a trip to Spain next week and need to buy some tickets. I visit this website and takes a ton of time to load. I want to read the cookie policy because I read everything I accept to make sure it doesn't include any abusive clauses...Let's read the cookie polic... oh, it's not in English although I have my computer, browser and website in English...

But this doesn't apply only to certain company in certain country, it's almost everywhere. Cryptic cookie terms and conditions, really slow and bloated JavaScript websites, a lot of fonts loaded for each website you visit... Is this really what we want as a society? Wasting people's time loading "good-looking" websites that don't do what they were created for (displaying information)?

@arielcostas La web moderna es una basura. Una vez tenía que comprar unas boletas en "Lotería Manolita" para una prima que me lo había pedido encarecidamente, y como me resistía a hacer la cola en Madrid pues decidí comprarlo por internet. Aparte de que el servicio me pareció pésimo. El sitio web NO funciona si no aceptas todas las cookies y además te obligan a crear una cuenta para comprar un ticket. Lamentable algunos sitios web, y los del estado ni se digan.
