I think for me it’s the scale of my work projects and lack of deep interest in the projects themselves. Hobby projects get started because I have some kind of interest that I want to expand on by writing some code. For instance, RF and aviation are two interests and I recently wrote an ADSB message decoder with a map kind of like flightradar24 does. That’s super interesting to me, so writing that code is fun. It’s also way smaller of a project than my work projects.

It’s a complicated problem. The biggest privacy issues come from the use of JavaScript, but most of the time sites use JavaScript heavily and become unusable when it’s disabled. Other sites will straight up not let you access them without JavaScript.

I don’t know the answer to your question, but I have never heard of these alternative protocols. Thanks for giving me something new to go learn about.
