JS whitelisting and ad blocks anecdotally confirm this.

The number of sites that will be loading images and js from three or four or more different ad/tracking and CDNs is nuts, plus the various login and media links, and I feel zero guilt for not participating in this advertising insanity.

Tightly put together pages with only a handful of JS loads are damn near instant over gigabit fiber.



Cannot fully agree. I use adblockers since their invention. Twitter and reddit need more than 5 seconds to load for me on mobile wifi. Ads have their impact but it's not the sole problem.
