> The websites with the best UX I know are mostly those who haven't really changed for the past 20 years.

> I might be crazy but assume to not be alone in this one, as I have yet to finde someone who likes their back button being hijacked. Likes being blasted by an autoplay video on max volume. Likes seeing the UI reorganized almost every other month. Likes seeing constantly moving and/or blinking elements on a mostly text based website.

Are these really common features for modern websites? I think most browsers block auto-play of videos. Back button hijacks: annoying but again I feel like I stumbled across that more often 5-10 years ago.

Nowadays the annoying website thing seems to be screwing around with the scrollbar.

Although, I definitely do agree that the 20-30 years ago style is best. Just give me some text. I’m going to block the JavaScript and set my own background colors and font anyway, so the less clutter the better.

It seems that websites keep finding ways around my autoplay blocking settings. Back button hijacks I haven't seen in a while I don't think, but I feel the sentiment.
