Forgive me for saying this but I find all these complaints shallow, or a sign of youth.
Hear me out, though. The reasons are real. The modern web sucks bad but it's been like that for many, many years. Certainly longer than a decade.
From my point of view, as someone who writes js for a living, I started using NoScript a while ago and the web is generally very fast and nothing shifts position on my screen as things (ads) load. Yeah, I don't do social media and some sites are nothing but a blank page. It's a blessing.
I guess my point is: avoid doing things that annoy you. If you don't like js heavy sites - stop using them. Or just adopt NoScript. No, ublock isn't the exact same thing. The granularity is counter productive in this respect.
- cyborgx7 5y ago"Don't use some of the most popular sites on the internet if shifting around during loading is annoying to you." isn't very productive advice.
- beebeepka 5y agoProductive? Don't have a short response to the implications here. In any case, doing things because they are popular doesn't sit well with me. Fast food is popular, and yet I would advise to stay away from most of it
- cyborgx7 5y agoProductive as in helpful. As in something that is of any use to anybody.
