Every long-lived website ends up with cobwebs. 🕸️

Things that used to do something, but no longer do. Like httpequiv for IE8-10, your fb:pages id or the Windows 8 tile tags. None of them do anything anymore.

But which ones can you safely get rid of? The next version of Polypane will tell you!

What language do you speak best? (Hypothesis: There are many French & German speakers in the Fediverse.)

:fediverse: Boosts appreciated!
