Or we stop promoting flights at all, cheap or expensive, just an idea to keep CO2 levels down.

Pff, what can we do to break the ad industry? It sucks on so many levels.
7.
by aberforth123 7y ago
Yes, and use https://webtest.app to show the world we can speed up the web by blocking ads.

Good idea. Where do we start this shaming? I don't have the resources.

Cool, let's do this!

That's because there is more room for thumbnails in the right column because there is no ad on top. Weird right :). We have to block more!

A small part of the solution: Let's block ads! Proof: https://webtest.app/?url=https://www.wowhead.com

Nice write-up. What is your opinion on the following: Ads make people buy stuff they don't need. So if we would stop with ads everywhere, we can save the planet.

Ok, so how to we kill the ad industry? This is ridiculous.

Great project! The energy footprint of the internet is huge and should be addressed. For example: https://webtest.app/?url=https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/

Hackernews is a great example, or this one: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about.html

It's also just one test, and not hundreds. I just reran it, the result is now the other way around.

Yeah I agree, but I have no idea where to get or even measure any metrics.

It's because there is more room in your browser for loading thumbnails..

Brave browser tries this right?

Nobody cares, everybody just wants to monetize, while not even knowing which of those requests result in revenue. Just load everything and see what happens!

The goal is both!

Regarding: "Also I never realized it was SO BAD without adblock". That's part of the problem. We techies have no idea what's happening without an ad blocker because we all use one. This service wants to show the unseen.

The screenshots didn't even load because the my tiny server ran out of memory when testing Reddit.

Check this service, it proofs you wrong

This was an old result from when the server didn't have enough memory for big sites (especially the version without uBO). I reran it for Reddit, you can see the result on the same URL.

In what way do you think news sites would pay for this service? They want full throttle ads everywhere right, not sure why this service is of any use. They just think: the more header bidding partners putting cookies everywhere the more mon

Will open source soon, need some refactoring first :).

Yes sorry, it's tough!
