1. Customize a decent browser eg Firefox to my own safety standard (disable cookies, Autoplay, etc.)
2. Treat every website like an application. If a site is usable under my settings, fine.
3. If a site needs an additional capability, e.g a login credential or cookies, only provide them for that site if it’s compelling enough, otherwise blame the site and move on.
After customizing for a few dozens of sites, and not being able to use countless others, the modern web becomes a lot more manageable for me.
I do similar things and it kinda works for people like us. But, firstly, what about the rest of the world that's less knowledgable or technically inclined; and secondly, the fact that we (figuratively) have to put on armor and carry an arsenal of weapons before we can think of using the web still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
