I remember the early 2000s internet, playing Ogame, trolling RP internet forums, browsing illegal pornography on 4chan with WT Snacks, damn, that was the real wild west of the internet…
Absolutely. I remember when Google Chrome started to be a thing, they had an actual video ad showing that it could load and render the Google homepage in like 100 ms. And so we all switched from Firefox, which had become large and bloated.
Now Chrome is full of a ton of useless crap, most web pages are painful without ad blockers, and there is pretty much zero effort put into efficient web design.
Remember early 2000s when one of the metrics to be a good website was how many milliseconds it took to load?
If your site had 120ms of overhead, it wasn’t professional.

I moved back to Firefox soon after, and after the ad blocker ban I’m glad I made the switch back then
