There is very little that continues to run in the browser that is of any value to the user. But they want to cram as many ads, autoplay videos and the like down our throat. How are they measuring the value of that sort of stuff that they think it accomplishes anything?

At least the news/media sites can pretend they are loading something useful for the user, even if that is not usually the case.

I can't figure out why Google needs 15X more CPU indefinitely to display a white page with a search box, though (compared to a blank tab or simple site).
