cnn is an assault on your browser. The header bar bouncing up and down as it chases your location, the video auto playing top right, the marketing overlay asking for your email to send market insights, the cookie acceptance bs at the bottom. All wrapped up nicely in 443 requests, and 19.1MB of data.
I CAN NOT STAND the web anymore.
- Miner49er 7y agoYeah, the web is unusable at this point without an ad blocker IMO. With uBlock Origin on Firefox I don't have any of that and it's down to 5.29 MB.
- a_wild_dandan 7y agoI can't test it at work, but I wonder what adding a Pi-hole winnows the bits down to.
- LeoPanthera 7y agoIt's a good test for your ad blocker though. I got none of those things you mention, so I guess it's working pretty well. (I use AdGuard for Safari configured to use the EasyList lists.)
