Most of these "web sites" are irrelevant to me. On Nextcloud UI's 
and such, rclone handles well them all. On Mastodon, there's
brutaldon. On Youtube, mpv+yt-dlp works a zillion times faster
than the Google adware/bloadware frontend. Even under an N270
netbook. Also, most of Google Docs/Sheet documents can be 
downloaded with a URL flag and opened under Libreffice/Abiword/
Gnumeric/Ted/SC-IM in a much faster way, or directly opened 
as PDF files.
