Suggestion

Our end-to-end tests for the website are almost always ❌ broken in some way. Most of the time it's at least that their run+deploy machinery is broken on forks. Oftentimes they also become flaky for everyone. It's annoying, inconvenient, and very confusing+offputting for contributors. Especially new folks!

We'd added those tests back when the website was under much more active development. But the website doesn't change as much anymore. I don't think the tests are still worth the pain of maintenance.

A few relevant links: #4362, #5814, #5579.

Inspired by @trentmwillis's talk at Revo.js 2023 🙂
