In Firefox + Unlock Origin: Downloads 5.6MB and then stops loading.

Scrolling to the bottom of the page added 3MB of images and then stopped loading.

Yet with RSS you can read between 300 and 1800 articles, depending on the feed type.

What is your screen resolution ? I have the same setup but got different results.

Initial load, after closing cookie banner and another one, was about 500KiB (200KiB transferred). After scrolling to the bottom I got 1.7MiB/1.0MiB transferred.

I guess you're using a retina-like display ? (I got there results with a 1080p screen)

1920 x 1080 @ 100%

I don't think so. It's a T14 Gen 2a.

This is the way, just gotta pay (journos)

37MB sounds like pure mismanagement though beyond understandable desperation. Surely a competent consultant could reduce that number with zero negative impact?

Just gotta pay everyone who's not an asset owner, who actually worked for their money. So much dysfunction is just a matter of the owner class cornering wage negotiations and forcing people to make due with way less pay than their labor is actually worth. People don't pay for news because they can't afford to. There's an alternate universe where everyone makes the extra 20-30 bucks a month to afford a news subscription, and they pay it, and journalism happens in the interests of the people paying. Back in ours, journalism still happens in the interests of the people paying: the owners and advertisers.

You mean Ublock, not Unlock, I assume?

You are correct. Sorry for the typo.

I think Firefox just rolled out some kind of autocomplete; I haven't compensated yet.
