I 100% agree with you on the auth part. Mutual auth via something like SRP built into the browser would be a huge boon to building web sites that don't have to handle the plain-text password. Some nice chrome on that, or even an interface with HTML (<form method="mutal-auth-login"> <form method="mutal-auth-logout"> or something) would be super nice.

What's worse is that people seem to get offended when you say "I have a crappy computer and a crappy connection, this is too bloated". I actually started running noscript soley to block analytics and ads that causing page rendering to delay for 10+s. I had the page. It was all there, but the browser had to wait for all resources before it'd do a full render. All of that immediately stopped with noscript.
