learning on the go just for fun, my CSS has about 30k characters and I don't think there's much more I can simplify (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

tons of pseudo elements and classes, states, animations... I'm not trying to be professional, it's just a personal microblog that I've been experimenting with everything I've been learning hehe
the site doesn't look like it has a lot of content but there's quite a few hidden stuff (although none so cryptic)
After I finish updating my friends' links I'm going to make a loop (not marquee) changing the display of divs... anyway, been having quite some fun writing CSS rules https://pxhc.neocities.org/

CSS now at 70.9k characters lol

35k of it was caused by animating 152 buttons that cycle in groups of 38 on different times... I could have grouped a few that repeat patterns but it would make it harder for maintainability

You mean when you click the Links label it doesn't change the content displayed (it's just a radio input, working here on Firefox 148 and Brave 1.89), or that clicking outgoing links are not working? (there is only one on the Links section so far)

I think I'm just blocking too much. At one point I got a message something like "if you're seeing this, your browser is blocking chatbox". Before that the links did nothing. The color changer buttons worked.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. This issue has been going on for quite awhile. Cbox collects some statistics, and Firefox has been flagging it as tracking/fingerprinting because it's a CORS iframe. Cbox claims it's a false positive and that they just collect IPs that interact with the chat to show stuff like a visitor counter, the amount of unique visitors, and countries of origin as a feature for users, and also to let the user block IPs if someone is trolling/spamming the chat, and that there is no cross-user/cbox tracking and they have requested to be whitelisted, but to this day Firefox hasn't gotten back to them.
Cbox is whitelisted by uBlock Origin, AdGuard, by Brave's tracking protection and most importantly it's not on any of HaGeZi's list, so yeah I believe Firefox is tripping, so I just added an Enhanced Tracking Protection exception on my browser to be able to interact with cboxes on the wild (I surf a lot indieweb)
