Ask HN: Do you still look at HTML source in 2025?

4 pointsby reconnecting5 months ago
Hello, our company website is written by hand without JS&#x2F;CSS&#x2F;inline-styles, using tables and old transparent pixel hacks, etc.<p>From time to time, other engineers ask why it&#x27;s written this way, and I explain that it&#x27;s because I still read HTML source code when I see unusual website and hope that one day someone will take a look at ours.<p>Do you still read HTML source in 2025?

The HTML source is frequently more readable than the page when loaded in a browser.

Yeah. I&#x27;ve seen a few websites these days disable selection of text. So I use the source inspector to copy the text for quoting.
