  3. Hard to tell. But you as a user could just install some extension like Adblock Plus, uBlock Origin or even NoScript to load less shit :-)

  5. And that's kinda fine - I personally don't want to see modern sites that look like something from 2000s. That doesn't mean thatno optimizations are needed anymore :-)

  10.  @amigalemming  Interesting site, thanks! But I would still recommend to try use some adblockers - Internet looks SO much cleaner.

  12. It's based of old UNIX. Same as Linux. Old Windows are based on MS-DOS but since Windows 2000 they are based on Windows NT.

  13. To optimize something you need to know more about it. HTML is the lesser problem here: big pictures and embedded video players are worse.

  14. In Windows you don't need Adobe Reader most of the time and Foxit Reader or Sumatra PDF are light and fast. Author just creates drama :-)

  18. A golden rule would be "if your application doesn't have to do half of the things that a web browser must do - don't use Electron". Maybe some kind of news aggregator could be Electron based.

  19. So you was just offended so easily. It's fine for newcomers to ask "stupid questions" - that doesn't mean that those who ask it is stupid himself :-) "stupid question" = "easy question" = "newcomer's question" It's all the same. Not everyone has to be 100% polite all the time.

Most users would be fine just by using GUI applications but programmers and sysadmins are still need Terminal/Terminal Emulators to automate their job. Or you want them to write a GUI application for every single case?

  22.  @SamTheEnglishTeacher  Install her some uBlock Origin or even NoScript ;-)

  23.  @SamTheEnglishTeacher  NoScript disables much more that just adds - it could disable the whole JS if you want to :-)

  24.  @SamTheEnglishTeacher  "I use it if I'm doing something I'd not want anyone to ever know about" - your ISP still knows. Use TailsOS instead ;-)

  25. Yep!

  26. Just spare some time for optimizing this stuff ;-)
