How exactly will sites remember that you are logged in? And how would be have any web apps that aren't horrendous without JS?

Also, where is this burn-a-core-for-every-open-tab stuff? Many websites are highly optimized and do not use much CPU. Not enough to be noticed without actually looking at the numbers anyway.

What sites have page size animations these days?

I don't want them to. I log back in if necessary (browser remembers id/pswd). For those few I need to stay logged in, I use a VM and save the state - I'm more concerned about controlling JS than cookies in such cases.

I don't use web apps. My tradeoff.

Oddly, it seems to be corporate bullshit sites that are the worse offenders. Can't find one but you're right, it's not all by any means. I retract.

You might be right on corporate bullshit sites, there are a few that can burn CPU(Usually without any actual content worth viewing....). I guess they are meant to be shown at a meeting on a high end business laptop?

But I think the vast majority of people would be upset if sites didn't keep you logged in and there were no web apps.

It's even worse if you prefer FOSS and use web apps, since Chromium no longer has password sync, Brave and FF block advanced features, and if you use BitWarden it takes a few extra clicks.

Yeah. The less info the more clipart/general crap you'll get. Weird innit.

As to your other points, I can't argue. I accept a higher level of inconvenience for a higher level of security, that's just my choice. I won't inflict it on others who make different tradeoffs.
