Many years ago the agency I worked for was tasked with delivering a new website for a major UK brand. The hipster London marketing agency we had to work alongside pushed so many garish ideas that I ended up creating a jQuery plugin called "disco mode". It set a timer and on every tick would select a random element on the page and apply a random effect. Slowly the UI would disintegrate into a maddening, incoherent mess of clashing colours and animations, and then there was also the plugin I mentioned.

Unfortunately only on HTTP sites since the assets aren't served over HTTPS. Though thankfully it's easy enough to grab the resources and re-host them behind HTTP.

And, of course, you can test it out on that website since it's served over HTTP.

This project seems to be using Chrome to load the pages through Puppeteer.

Ticketmaster can easily check `if(navigator.webdriver)` before loading the page. I don't think that can be fixed without recompiling the browser. thank you Google, very cool.

I wish fewer sites would resort to 4 letter words in their titles to grab attention. These days, a title like this makes me assume the product itself is not interesting enough for me to look at.

Back in the 90s/early-2000s there were browser add-ons where people could collaboratively do this as an overlay to any website. Kind of like stumbleupon 10 years early but you just shot/exploded/disintegrated, etc the html elements of the site and typed comments to each other.

Re:Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos by georgemcbay on Thursday August 28, 2025 @10:49PM (#45059561)
I doubt the review will succeed, mimicking other sites is explicitly one of the criteria they mark unsafe for.

Like I know this is just a joke site not meant to trick people, but it still runs afoul of google's unsafe website criteria by being a site whose sole purpose is being a MITM.

Re:Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos by jshchnz on Thursday August 28, 2025 @10:51PM (#45059582)

Re:Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos by georgemcbay on Thursday August 28, 2025 @11:01PM (#45059658)
it might help to have an obvious/thick window decoration around the pane of the site you are cloning, similar to the large header archive.is shows to make it more clear you aren't trying to fool anyone.

Though with a google review who knows if a human will ever even see your appeal...?

Google safebrowsing blocked it, so it does not work in Firefox anymore (and any other browser); after ignoring the warning, it's clear that there are ample warnings on the website itself about this being a parody, not to enter sensitive information, etc. I reported it as "not deceptive".
Re:Fuck up my site – Turn any website into beautiful chaos by nulbyte on Friday August 29, 2025 @07:42AM (#45062754)
I also reported it safe, as it is still there hours later. There is apparently no way to turn off the use of safe browsing in Firefox for Android, which is disconcerting. So I blocked safebrowsing.googleapis.com. After that, clearing the app's cache did the trick for me.

Firefox gives me no such option. My only CTA is "Try again" which only repeats the same "Secure Connection Failed - SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG" message, and when the paragraph is expanded, there are no links and actions aside from "Learn more" which links to a Mozilla page explaining it further.
