I dislike HTML5 for this reason. In the heyday of Flash you could sidestep most of the bloat of the web with a click-to-play plugin setting or by not installing the extension at all, and 99% of the sites that relied on Flash completely for navigation etc. weren't worth browsing in the first place. Now that many of the capabilities of Flash are built into the browser, you don't really have a way to avoid superfluous animations and awkward nonstandard interfaces and whatnot. Every time I have to use a Wikia wiki, my computer and I each shed a single minimalist tear.
