I run piHole DNS servers at home (Raspberry pi 3B+'s running a purpose-built raspian distribution).
They filter out ad sites for all devices connected to my network, so I don't have to configure machines to block the sites.

Don't forget, part of it is loading, and part is rendering.
We use DevExpress tools where I work. They generate such complex html to do their jobs that it's harder for the browser to render the page.
In those cases, there's not a lot the developer can control (except to try to find toolsets that run better).
So, we do what we can to generate the page a quickly as possible--run fewer, more efficient queries and code, mostly, but also things like caching commonly used data and elements.

click on a link without it having jumped around three times and you end up clicking on something else
This explains why I've clicked on ads 3 times or so since I've started using the internet in the early 90s.
To this day, I still otherwise would not have clicked on a single ad, ever. If I'm looking for something specific, I search for it, I don't click ads. Which is why I keep saying targeted advertising is wasted on me and I want nothing to do with it. If everybody took that approach, there would be no point in any of the tracking and profile-building that's taking place nowadays...and the world would be a very different place.

The norm is to use an insane amount of .js libraries to bootstrap front-end development, while simultaneously creating a nearly untestable attack-surface.
But why?
Profit margins.
Eventually, something build on top of WASM will position itself as easy _and_ secure, and .js can burn in a pit of snakes.

Here is a thought more or less right away.

Yeah, a 13-year-old that feels qualified to comment would kinda tick me off...

I wonder what search string he used, to land on that specific comment of yours, posted so long ago.

No he took the time to carefully construct his answer

If he's like most of us, he has a list of shortcuts to webpages he was going to come back and read later. With the lockdowns going on, he finally got to this particular link.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

That could well be it. I look forward to seeing where he goes next.
