Should we also complain at the amount of bootstrapping your OS had to do before your browser could show said site?
Yes, absolutely. Just because it's been hidden behind decades of advances in CPU and storage technology doesn't mean it's not incredibly wasteful.
Explain to me why rendering html in javascript in wasteful? GNOME and Edge does the exact same thing for ther shells.
The site doesn't even load at all now (lol)
