We’re in a very strange moment for the internet. We all know it’s broken. That’s not news. But there’s something in the air—a vibe shift, a sense that things are about to change.

I’d prefer to go back to html only websites with as little JavaScript and CSS as possible.
I think the best website designs are from the late 90s early 2000s.

And the drivatives: http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/ https://bestmotherfucking.website/ https://perfectmotherfuckingwebsite.com/
Those derivatives are so nice. They’re good to browse, look modern, and load fast on any device.
I find it’s rarely JavaScript or css themselves itself but sites that load 400 different things from 100 other domains. Sites that quit loading all this other shit work and perform great even if they’re fairly large and complex.
It’s the interconnected world tax.
Also fonts, google analytics, stylesheets, telemetry etc…
True. How i miss these days. When google began and was just some mere kB in weight.
Imagine the speed of the Web with modern hardware but plain html with minimalistic JS if need be. Right now, surfing is as slow as it was back then. Machines are multiple times fastet, but content is multiple times larger too. And the addons, the scriptblockers, the adblocker etc.
