Get over it. The modern web sucks. My 2003 Thinkpad T41 was never a raging powerhouse, but is was "usable". It is no longer usable. Nothing in the hardware has changed, but the software, the browsers, and the web at large have all changed drastically. I do embedded system co-design. I write software for a living, but I work closely with the hardware teams, including (at my last employer) ASIC features. I have to flop hats between 'software' and 'hardware' all the time. And there are clearly times that I throw the software team under the bus. "Hey the last product ran in 128MB, but memory is cheap, so can we have 4GB this time? We want to split all the prior pthreads across containers!" You think I am joking? Browsers and web content have done the same. "But look at all the shiny features?" I don't want the shiny. I just want the content, and fast.
