Yes, but the fact that most websites these days have to load seven dozen javascripts and CSS stylesheets to become usable probably doesn't help either

- throwaway2048 13y agothe real killer here is scripts that load scripts, often several layers deep, and a blocking load and a round trip each time....
- jmpe 13y agoGoogle groups comes to mind. It's not uncommon to have to wait several seconds before you can read the text, and then it all collapses and you need to fish for the right post.
- josteink 13y agoAdd to that Webkit's retarded decision not to render any text at all if the web-page uses custom fonts. The reasoning behind this is a wish to avoid annoying or "unestethical" flicker from one font to another once the font has loaded. That's great if you're on 10mbps or more. Now put yourself on a 64kbps barely functioning link on the metro, you have DLed the 800bytes of article text you really want read 5 minutes ago but you're still waiting for that one special font which webkit requires to be able to see anything. And that wont fully load until you're off the metro. I tell you: Lesser things can drive a otherwise reasonable person completely mad. Don't use custom fonts on any mobile stylesheet ever. Thanks.
