Drew has a lot of action. His Open Source code repo hosting service https://sourcehut.org https://sourcehut.org does not use any Javascript at frontend, and sourcehut webpages load a lot faster than GitHub and GitLab.

Problem here is, that Chromium and Firefox based browsers use a huge amount of RAM, and keep increasing amount of features and code. Also, new versions of Chrome etc have broken features that did previously work fine.
Then, web developers are adding even more code to webpages, causing web to just feel a lot slower:

It would be nice if:
- webpages would use less code at frontend
- so web browsers would use less memory
- with less features in browsers, there would be less code to audit for security
- with less code in browsers, compiling browser would require less time
