The 49MB Web Page

Shubham Bose writing on his blog:

I went to the New York Times to glimpse at four headlines and was greeted with 422 network requests and 49 megabytes of data. It took two minutes before the page settled. And then you wonder why every sane tech person has an adblocker installed on systems of all their loved ones.

This is insane. I run 3 different ad blockers and I feel it isn’t enough. I may need to look at PiHole again.
