Does anyone know of a way to quantify the cost of ad-trackers in terms of cpu/memory/bandwidth/battery?
How much more responsive would websites be without all the trackers?
How much longer would we keep our phones if they didn't struggle under the weight of all this tracking?
How much less data center capacity would be required?
How much more bandwidth would be available?
