The 'Best viewed with Internet Explorer'[0] GIF triggers severe nostalgia.
IE was the dominant browser at the time, and these propaganda buttons just reinforced the idea that IE was the only browser you should be using. Still see the odd site saying 'Works best in Chrome' as if Chrome was the new IE.
Personally though, if your site is one of those annoying SPA (Single Page Apps) and doesn't work in Lynx[1], you're doing it wrong IMHO.
Nearly tempted to put a button on my sites saying: 'Best viewed in Lynx'.

I have a Glinet[0] router that has Tor functionality and 'torifies' your connection, so even if there's some JS 0day that executes trying to decloak me, the adversary just gets a Tor IP instead of my home connection IP.
Note: I connect to Tor from my torified Glinet router which is doing Tor-over-Tor which is considered 'dangerous'[1] but I do it anyway.
This might be overkill for most, and I'm not doing anything illegal (I mostly browse clearnet sites instead of hidden services anyways).

I donate to Riseup[0], TailsOS[1], and The EFF[2]. They all do great work, and I use their services too, so I'm not just a leecher!

Revisit old notes and take action on them. Be a bit more adventurous online, try out new services, websites, tools, no-code solutions like Zapier etc
Be more active on Twitter. I know it's a strange place to hang out on now, and my timing is probably wrong, but I want to leverage it and gain some new friends and learn a thing or two.
Stop doomscrolling. I'm a news junkie, and need to stop reading so many gloomy headlines. I want to pay attention to what interests me. I will still glance at world news just to get a feel for where we're at and what's going on, but I will not binge on news like I used to.
So how easy is it realistically? I hope it's not going to un-ergonomic like PGP where novices are sometimes seeing to be pasting their private key into e-mails and sending things in plaintext which should have been ciphertext, or otherwise leaking info.
I imagine you have to be really careful not to mess things up here.
