The number of ways I’ve found to “win” against the modern internet over the years… My favorite is the trick of copying tables. In Firefox, if you hold Alt and drag, you can grab clean table data to copy paste into whatever spreadsheet you need. Take that, overly-complicated webpage!

Maybe more commonly known but you can also hold alt while selecting a link to not activate it.
Omg, this is a life changer!
I’ve always done this with any browser and pasted in Excel, Calc or Sheets and it has worked without Alt. What does alt do?
Sometimes the webpage will select a bunch of stuff outside the table as well as a bunch of extra lines and spaces that you have to rearrange.
Not all websites do it, but for the ones that do, this trick can save several minutes of fixing.
