The browser thanks to JavaScript has become a platform. It has displaced native desktop development. As a developer it would suck for me to be imposed limits. Another thing to manage.
Personally, I don't see a problem to be solved here. Bloated sites with ads will always exist. The solution is quite simple - don't visit them. They will eventually die or be replaced by something leaner. A great example is GitHub which has replaced Sourceforge.

- krapp 8y agoThis article is the programmers' equivalent of Grover Norquist saying "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Only with Javascript. Also, libertarians are statists. Weak statists, but statists nonetheless.
