Forum Voices

Some users are unhappy with website design. One user said:

Loaded way too fast and is way too responsive. Also when I checked NoScript, it’s only loading js from lxe.github.io I expect there to be at minimum 8 domains, but often 12-18.

Another user complained about the EU cookie policy:

The cookie thing, I assume it’s EU-only, is an example of the EU policy making process being fundamentally broken in some way. If you create a flawed policy and don’t fix it many years after it’s very visibly obvious that it’s a bad policy, something is really wrong.

Some users think websites should be more aggressive with ads and popups. One user suggested:

As feedback, you made that popup way too clean and easy to close. That’s not how it works in reality. You need to make the background transparent and the X so small it’s technically impossible to hit. Also think about adding an ad and a timer and move the popup slightly after N ms so that the user always hits the ad.

Conclusion

Websites have a lot of problems. Design is a big issue. Users are frustrated with ads and popups. Regulations are flawed.
