That's Google for you, having to present your exciting MVW toolkit on the crash accident of a website that is Blogspot.

Right now, there is a massive cookie consent form blocking my view of the actual article.

To be fair, it looks like the website itself for angular.io [0] is built on Angular, or at least a HTML framework that is not Jekyll (which is what they've used for other site documentation, including AMP [1])...so at least they're dogfooding Angular on Angular's own homepage, even when it doesn't seem needed (I didn't see many features that didn't seem to be mostly static HTML)

They own Blogspot, and you could always agree to the "massive cookie consent form" and it would go away.

At which point it's still a shit, unusable site. This isn't making me excited for your magic JS library.

I've yet to run into a site that doesn't set cookies anyway. Those things seem to be there just to comply with that nonsensical law.

There are even some adblock/ublock/what-have-you filters now that block those forms.

is that a european thing?

As a European, we prefer it described as a 'poorly conceived and universally despised European law thing'

As a Brit living within a region under the influence of the EU, I concur. A massively annoying imposition from power-tripping bureaucrats who have no idea what a stateless protocol is.

Yes.
