What’s wrong with linking to third party sites? That’s against the original ethos of the web!


I think it is more that it doesn’t load any resources automatically from external sites, a common way to share visitor information with third parties without JavaScript. For me it’s a sensible way to earn trust .

There are many third party links that you can click on, which does align with the original ethos of the web.


Ah, I think I meant to write that the site doesn't load anything from third parties, but apparently had a slight brain fart.


Probably should have said:

> This site doesn't use cookies or <link> to any third party site.

:)
