> Mobile Twitter is maybe the single most useless website I’ve ever had to use lol.
Pinterest would be up there too. It's useless if you don't have an account on mobile and desktop.
‘Useless’ isn’t a strong enough word. The way it’s broken Google image search puts it way into negative a value.
Try adding -site:pinterest.com to your search query.
Edit: Just tried it myself, might want to add a -site:pinterest.co.uk as well.
Im amazed googles allowed them to pull those seo tricks so long considering they put the hammer down on ehow with the panda update.
I get that I can exclude results, but it’s a little like “you’re holding it wrong”. On mobile it’s prticularly horrible. Maybe this is exactly what a clipboard manager is for.
I turned off Javascript and it worked fantastically.
Couldn’t agree more. I’ve had to learn to use frameworks like React for work, but I’ll never be a fan. I’ll always be prefer to build websites as simply and close to the metal as I can.

I feel like every week I get another reason to turn JS off.
Really says a lot doesn’t it.
The downside is the (disquietingly common frequency of) sites which return a jumbled mess of incoherent elements or a blank page(!) when Javascript is disabled.
I blame SPA’s.
Nearly impossible to test properly (or was), breaks the whole html model, results in bugs just like this one.
Clicking on a link to a tweet has 1/20 chance of ever actually loading the tweet. All other occurrences are evenly split between loading nothing except the top bar and calling it a day, and throwing an error message. Reloading the directly or using the reload button they provide will usually result in the rate limiting message.
I don’t even bother clicking on twitter links anymore. I just hope it worked for someone else and they paste the contents in the comments.
