I find your observation at odds with how I interact with the web, though I can guess the basis of from where your disillusion / dissatisfaction stems from. If you're speaking about Firefox's imperfect url history, yes that's annoying and was ever present in old versions of firefox, not that I know exactly why, it's just is that way from time to time, possibly leaky code itself or maybe other times more to do with a site's tricky web coding or getting the link confused with other cdn sources used to populate the page. I don't think the WWW will move to a lower noise to bandwidth formula ... yes I find the ratio appalling at the moment was well for having to scroll more than I should to read the content, and put up with limited search results per page. However I'm lucky, I don't need an ad blocker as I don't even notice the ads, there's just annoying colourful blocks that impede my focused search for texty stuff. Honestly if someone would have told me so many sites would load a page on a subject and it would struggle to manage 100 words back 20 years ago ... I would have never figured on turning the same page into five or more padded out with unimportant stuff ... but I guess these days that's what pays the bills.
