Don't you realize that you can't build a usable site without mountains of JS and user-tracking scripts? /sarcasm
It's really refreshing to see a fast, small efficient site that gets rid of all the bullshit. Congrats!

At first I literally couldn't believe what I was seeing - ZERO third-party bullshit in uMatrix. Not just none to unblock to make the site work - none at all!
(Apparently you can make a website without downloading Bootstrap from someone's external CDN...)
And then... oh my God, how fast the site is. I can actually feel I have a somewhat modern, powerful computer. Usual day-to-day browsing makes me forget that.
So yeah, for this reason alone I'll be using and recommending this site. Great job!
but we usually end up in a couple of years great service, before they figure out that they could be earning money with serving ads or selling data.
The cycle is usually completed by another free service starting and being usable for the next few years, and in this case there's no pain in switching (no content you uploaded and spread URLs to), so I wouldn't worry.
On the other hand, in the age of HTML "hello world" including an Angular installation, downloading Bootstrap from external CDN, and at least three different kind of tracking scripts, I think sites like this one need to be praised loudly.
What Extratorrents and The Pirate Bay do tho seems to be something akin to clickjacking. I click on a link to a torrent search result (or a download link), a tab opens, and it immediately closes. Rest assured this generates them money.
