Bastian Greshake Tzovaras«The 49MB Web Page» is a great summary of all that's wrong with much of the web along explanations of how we ended up there due to commercial ad incentives.
Aaron@gedankenstuecke The patterns describe here reminds me of a thing I desperately want: a standardized browser "Rage Quit" button.
If you click that, it notifies the site ( sends a post to /.well-known/rage-quit perhaps ) before deleting all local cookies, cache, saved data, etc. Make the web master see how many people leave without intent to return after adding that new autoplay video popup that can't be closed.
Maybe even add a user reminder popup before navigating to said site in the future: "You rage-quit on 2026-03-13, continue?"
