I find it's rarely JavaScript or css themselves itself but sites that load 400 different things from 100 other domains. Sites that quit loading all this other shit work and perform great even if they're fairly large and complex.
It’s the interconnected world tax.
Also fonts, google analytics, stylesheets, telemetry etc..
Hmm I wish there was a setting to disable ever downloading or using any custom font. I don't give a fuck what any website author wants their font to look like enough to want to use any that I don't already have.
I think ublock origin can block cosmetic styling. I'm not on my pc right now to check though. Also not sure if that includes fonts.
Oh nice, I thought an add-on might help with that but haven't gotten to digging in to that. Even better if it's one I already use. Thanks for the lead!
Edit: Yeah, it took all of 5 seconds to find the setting to block remote fonts in ublock origin mobile.
