In addition to making browsing slower you’d also consume more of your data, if you’re on a capped plan. These days I have a 70 GB plan with data rollover, which leaves me with plenty of data to spare. But for the longest time I used to be on a plan with only a couple of GB of data per month, and it was a real pain in general. In that situation, downloading all resources instead of only the ones I need would have made a noticeable impact I am sure. Even though I now have data to spare, the additional slowness that you mentioned would be annoying enough that I would not want my device to do that. Additionally, transferring more data would also consume more battery. |

Also, your argument assumes everyone is browsing on a phone, and with a "plan". Is there no other way to access the web these days?
I think simply disabling JS spares a lot more battery. Hell, with noScript you can block font manipulation.
