Hot Take:

It's all fun and games until your JavaScript library starts sending Grandma to risqué roulette sites. The polyfill[.]io drama is like watching a superhero turn villain overnight. One minute, you're patching up old browsers like a digital saint, and the next, you're the puppet master of the seediest redirection show on the web. Bravo, polyfill[.]io, for reminding us that even the most benign code can morph into a wolf in sheep's code—er, I mean, clothing.

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
