Clean ?

- Gratuitous, unnecessary cookies (and accompanying cookie consent dialog)

- cloudflare insights built into the pages

- non-zero counter in ublock origin

That's before we even get to the page source which contains, among other things:

  "text\":\"First, ensure you're using a modern browser. If problems persist, try refreshing the page or clearing your browser cache. Some older devices may have limited font support.\"}}
"Clean" web pages don't need hints like this - they work without clearing browser cache or worrying about "older devices".

I haven't seen this on HN in a while so it is worth reposting:

Not super against cookie tracking or consent especially for a free platform, but these extreme color contrasts don't even seem to have any obvious correlations. Is it done just for looks? That's a crazy decision for a font information site
