How web bloat impacts users with slow devices

@molly0xfff @danluu Personal opinion: I think RAM usage and screen size are also critical metrics.

Outside of egregious cases (my nemesis YouTube chat, advanced web applications), you can wait for a page to load and get on with your life (or what time remains of it).

But if Firefox uses all your RAM rendering a downscaled 4000 px wide high definition logo and crashes, or if your screen is 75% header bars, 25% footer bars, and 0% real content, that's completely disruptive.
