This is so true and I'm certain it's related to the noticeable downgrade in web performance and usability over the past five years. So many sites are flabby and slow now because they're retrieving countless packages from CDN's, each time of course with a ssh handshake, etc etc. You can see endless retrievals flashing on the bottom bar, sometimes literally never stopping, as the site keeps doing one thing after another to anticipate what you might want to do, load new content, or whatever. I find the web only barely enjoyable to use anymore. Even the simplest things seem to blow up now, e.g. very often I get "not found" for the Google homepage. Huh? That one's probably on me somehow, but I'm not doing anything different that I know of, but what has changed that I know of is the extreme increase in complexity of internet delivery and programming. And I will just vent one more pet peeve. Not EVERY part of a web page needs to pop something up in your face when you put the mouse over it. Thank you.
