Go next level: Remove the whole browser and make a native application - gain even more performance!
I just use lynx to browse and block downloading js files by default. I wrote this comment using ed and curl.
I don't know why you'd use such heavy duty applications for such a simple use case. I merely use a butterfly to induce cosmic rays to flip the bits of memory needed to send a http request.
A butterfly is way more complex than React.js.
How true, in fact butterflies are more complex than all software put together :P you just broke that whole branch of xkcd jokes dammit!
Ha, you kids and your fancy lynx browsers. I do just fine with Netcat and typing in the HTTP requests by hand. Works just fine!
