I am dreaming of a solution to bloat where all mainstream browsers would be throttling per-tab CPU/memory/bandwith usage to Pentium III-on-DSL-circa-2001 levels by default.
(The "full speed" option should be there to keep power user from switching, but it should not be obvious to, say, 50% of users).
This should be pushed as a feature: now your browser helps make your computer work faster; any slowness in page loading is to be blamed on the websites.
This will not affects sites like Hackernews, but will bring a lot of websites to a standstill - and will force them to slim down.
