Using canary URLs in these and other sites may be interesting too.

I love regex101.com, so really happy to see it breaks the mold here.

Comment is a bit of an aside, but it's a shame what happened to JSONFormatter.org. The UI was preferable to alternatives for me, it ranked highly in Google so I could just search "JSON formatter" and access it, etc.
Now the site freezes 50% of the time when loading it on my Mac and when it doesn't freeze, there's a 5 second period of waiting before I can paste any input. Not to mention ads taking up 40% of the screen. The classic tech cycle of life.

Can we stop it with "and the results are terrifying", "and you won't believe what I found", "the <x> situation is insane", etc.? The over-hyping of low quality, low effort content is making it hard to find actually interesting or informative things.

Glad that I am using Firefox with:
- uBlock Origin
- cookieAutodelete
- privacy badger
Any additions to my arsenal welcome!

That's why real programmers are those who can work offline without the Internet. (just the repositories)
:)
