These days to get a snappy experience, one has to aggressively block everything and only selectively unblock the bare minimum, so that one doesn't get tons of bloat thrown in the direction of one's browser. Oh and forget about running JavaScript, because it _will_ be abused by websites. And then sites have the audacity to claim one is a bot.

Many websites are so shitty, they don't even manage to display static text, without one downloading tons of their JS BS.

The browser is one thing, but even native applications have worse input latency than they did in the 80's and 90's.

I think the web is not livable anymore without Firefox and uBlock Origin.
