This looks great, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, that was my intention (back when I posted it). I added "from EU" just to make it clear—since people would have otherwise said "that's not how it works in the US :p"

Yeah hat EU remark unleashed some emotions a bit, people are (incorrectly) bashing EU for consent popup due to companies tracking (and monetizing) the hell out of their browsing habits

I mean... I just recorded a browsing experience? It's the entire experience in general that sucks imho, regardless of cookie consent popups or not.

The problem is your post is titled to be a hit piece against the EU

Ads, Reddit popup, bad cambridge.org design are experienced by non EU too

A more accurate title like ""Sigh, this is what browsing the web looks like nowadays"" would not have gotten you criticism

Lol. It did, back in the day, with people saying "this is not accurate, since it's only a EU thing".

I'm in Canada and I get the cookie popups all the time as well. I'm glad for the opportunity to explicitly reject cookies, but it's still irritating.

It's also a great example as to why the web is as annoying as it is. It sounds like a lot of people here are mad because you called out the EU but realistically your video is a great example of the modern day web and it's awful.

Author here. That was a mistake on my part, it shouldn't have slipped in :) I removed that section, thanks for reporting!

Author here. This article is my take on automating visual regression tests of a “modern” web application using Playwright and GitHub actions. The goal is to build a "minimal" testing setup that checks for UI regressions on each pull request and allows selectively updating the baseline images when needed.

FYI I’m experiencing the same identical issue with the latest version of iPadOS.

Off the top of my head:

- Overriding the fetch/XHR API for error monitoring (there's no other way to listen for them unless you use Service Workers)

- Polyfilling features on top of existing APIs

But you might not see them as "justified".

Thanks! Crafting a tutorial wasn’t as easy as I initially though/hoped :)
