There is no solution to the insanity the web has become other than an alternative web.
Want a place you can go to find interesting websites, chat, share knowledge... all that the web was supposed to allow, but without being constantly tracked and bombarded with ads?
Gemini is an extremely simplified version of HTTP and HTML, in essence. It is safe by default: the only way to allow user "sign in" is by using mutual TLS. with mutual TLS, YOU control whether the server talking to you should know who you are... and they can't know anything you don't tell them. And you can simply stop using your TLS client certificate if you don't feel like telling the server who you are anymore. This is what security looks like. Not what the mess of the web is right now.
I find an aggressive ad blocker solves most issues with the modern web. Haven't seen an advertisement in years. Any facet of any website can be selectively blocked. You can pare anything down to plaintext if you really want.

It's time to reboot the internet.
