It's not even that Ublock/bloat is slowing things down, web sites are plagued by bad development and multi-standard requirements leading to tons of wasted processing time waiting for elements which eventually error out. I've analyzed performance on multiple websites, even big-name and high-traffic websites like Youtube and found that 60%+ of load time is just sitting there doing barely any processing while waiting for extra remote services to be contacted only to never load and finally fail allowing to page to go interactable. It's like having a beast of a computer but forgoing actual RAM in place for pagefile-as-ram; all other components could be amazing, but you're paying that performance tax no matter what.
Why can't we go back to php and HTML? Why can't we go back to web1? Why can't we go back to the days when the internet was an Eldridge city waiting to be explored!? ITS BECUASE OF THE FUCKING CORPATIZATION SOUL SUCKING MODEL OF THE INTERNET WE HAVE NOW!!! They wouldn't let us go back even if we stopped using the internet all together becuase there will still be those users that are dumb enough to saty on and swallow ads! Do you know how much time I waste on stupid sites like youtube!? HOURS! its by design to, keep you addicted, unaware and numb, and you wont have enough energy to fight back! IM FED UP WITH WEB2! I'm taking my cat silanced ar and heading to silicon valley! WHOS WITH ME!? ITS TIME FOR CHANGE!?
