Why are some websites bloated so heavily with trash? It's literally impossible to browse the web nowadays without using an ad blocker.
Why are some websites bloated so heavily with trash...

javascr*pt and webdevs being dumb monkeys who rely on frameworks and microdependencies to do all their programming (which they call koding) for them
Benjamin Harris
tracking for analytics, ads and crypto miners to milk visitors, countless embeds for social media buttons and posts, possibly disqus for comments not to mention all the js frameworks people use even for the simplest of sites.
Jeremiah Allen
iframes and sketchy js that's tied with google analytics and other unnecessary AB metrics.
Justin Roberts
that's probably why web devs are getting paid so little compared to let's say backend devs
anyone can use shitty js frameworks, it's fucking disgusting
Jeremiah Scott
The web is cucked by trash that believe everyone should have their own site even if they don't want to pay for the bandwidth. That and corporations

I wanted to learn some webdev stuff for a project and some 'advanced' tutorial was about embedding social media icons and google fonts, all fetched from other domains ofc. Connecting to more than two domains when loading a page should be a punishable offense.
Jason Smith
Because the reaction to the decreasing add revenues is more intrusive and obnoxious adds, which aren't anymore basic images but complex with tracking, interactivity, etc.

Jaxson Rogers

I can post without Google Analytics. Maybe it's because I use Dollchan (a Jow Forums X alternative).
Robert Price
of course you can, but since reCaptcha is from google , if you disable all google services you wont be able to post
Michael Butler
That's true. But I turned on Settings | Form | [x] Use alternative captcha in " Dollchan Extension Tools". Then, in uMatrix, I only allow "image" and "frame" from www.google.com. Goolag can keep their scripts. Apparently you have to turn off "Spoof Referer Header" in uMatrix, otherwise Jow Forums will tell you haven't solved the captcha correctly.
