happy anniversary! > Uses the fast and bloat-free FLTK GUI library [1] Bloat as a moat, is sadly the strategy of much of the web or apps in recent years. High Performance has shifted into how fast we can serve bloat. Efficiency has become about pushing the most bloat with least time. Pages are bloated, sites are bloated, browsers are bloated, browser-market is bloated (two-a-dime! or three for free). The whole damn web is a big bloat. wtf happened. | ||

"High performance has shifted into how fast we can serve bloat." If remove ads and behavioural tracking, speed is faster But goal of Big Tech, who make the popular browsers, is to make speed faster (fast enough) _with_ ads and tracking User wants fast speed. User does not want ads and tracking. Big Tech wants users in order to target with ads and tracking. Big Tech tries top deliver fast speed to keep users interested User can achieve fast speed _without_ ads and tracking I do it every day. I do not use a large propular browser to make HTTP requests nor to read HTML | ||
