Honestly? I've come to loathe the abysmal performance of the modern web so much that I'm ready to accept AMP. Half the reason I come to hacker News is that the site runs fast. And half the reason I comment before reading the article is because it doesn't.
- Houshalter 9y agoI often comment without reading the articles because on an older device it's impossible. 90% of links will just crash the browser in 10 seconds. I can watch an hour long youtube video just fine, but trying to load a newspaper article will make it keel over and die. Disabling javascript does fix a lot of it, but then I can't vote on HN, and I like doing that.
- qb45 9y agoThere are extensions which add buttons to quickly enable/disable JS on per-site basis like NoScript for Firefox. Also, Firefox reader view fixes many websites which otherwise render empty with JS disabled for reasons I didn't bother investigating.
- Houshalter 9y agoI don't think it's possible to get browser extensions on an old iOS device.
- qb45 9y agoFair enough, I didn't realize you meant iOS devices.
