I use uMatrix, which makes JS opt-in rather than opt-out. It’s a hassle, but I get to choose to enable content I want while blocking trackers and bloat.

- wlesieutre 8y agoI think what I'd like to have is a "Use significant resources" permission for sites. Off by default, and unless it's granted a webpage has a hard cap on how many CPU cycles it gets. When a site is trying to go over its limit, you can either continue to browse it in slow mode, allow the permission prompt for better performance, or GTFO and find a less shitty website. It's just assumed right now that webpages get to be as much of a resource drain as they'd like, and site owners are acting as they've been incentivized too. Fifteen ad networks and a Monero miner? Sounds great!
