Why do people like the super slow new reddit? Is a slightly shinier site really worth several 100ms delay for actions taken?
FWIW, I’d switch to new in a heartbeat. Better Markdown, more customization, looks cleaner (and I’m always logged in, so the account thing is not an issue). But not with the crappy speed it currently has.
- judge2020 5y agoAt least with adblock it actually loads pretty fast, the issues are the annoyances, and man I didn't know how bad it was. It dimmed the entire page to try to ask me for notification access: https://i.judge.sh/EUnAO/2_koa6cB9q.png https://i.judge.sh/EUnAO/2_koa6cB9q.png Then it wants to ask me about topics i'm interested in: https://i.judge.sh/RF58W/N_17B22eMD.png https://i.judge.sh/RF58W/N_17B22eMD.png Then, without ublock, below the fold, almost all of the content on the page is an advertisement https://i.judge.sh/bfACD/6_Kl9IneDr.png https://i.judge.sh/bfACD/6_Kl9IneDr.png
- Semaphor 5y agoI run everything with uBlock Origin and uMatrix (maybe it’s like amp where it slows down if you block something…), it’s most certainly still far slower than old. I recently gave it a try again and it either got worse or I had forgotten just how bad it was.
