    It’s why our PCs have gotten insanely fast but websites still load like fucking trash. All the back end spying shit takes up a ton of cpu cycles. If you don’t already have em run ublock origin and no script and the internet is so fucking speedy 😆

        Yeah. You got yourself covered no script helps with JavaScript being pesky. But breaks a lot of shit tbh.

          You can still make it work, it’s just more stuff to click on. I used to use NoScript too, but eventually stopped using it.

      That’s not what makes websites slow. It’s React.
