can you use the Opera browser? I use its free built-in VPN when browsing neocities and forums to avoid this!

I use NordVPN because I got a deal on it from a YouTuber back in the day. It works fine for this sort of thing. But I agree it sucks so bad to see so many websites become purple gradient boxes without one :'(
I find that this is similar to when an artist online feels forced to go with what is trendy in able to be seen/game the an algorithm. Sites should be made for fun and should be creative freedom! thats the whole reason on why I stopped using social media so much. I felt like I was trying to to please others, which made me feel less happy with what I made.
oops sorry for all the typos!!!
