  I'm not an expert but I think that's how Internet works. Those who don't like that, probably can send their complains to Tim Berners-Lee.

    When Tim considered a chain of 2 hyperlinks, he probably didn't expect it to take 20 seconds because of all the JS crap that gets loaded besides the actual content.

      Yeah, Tim definitely have not envisioned the rise of JS crap, nobody has, even not Brendan Eich.

        Parkinson's Law applies to JS (Sturgeon's Law does too). What else is new? Use effecting script-blocking tech.

          Can't agree more. Brave Browser incredibly cuts so much crap out of every payload. Sometimes, I feel (with the way how things usually done in the US) someone may try to lobby for "this kind of technology needs to be regulated..." kind of BS.

            It could happen, given our "one dollar one vote" system. But precedent and trends favor user rights to block and screen- or just plain reader mode, if not use GreaseMonkey (Brave's site-specific script system is called GreaseLion). DRM got a carve out for HD video, ebook vendors want it, so support the EFF.
