Browsers are now so fast and capable that you can emulate whole OS with another browser in them, which you can then use to browse.
So why does half of the websites in 2021 feel so sluggish?
GMail, which was famous for loading fast, sometimes takes forever to load.
I need to wait minutes when reading news websites while elements randomly jump around the page (seriously, why does pages do that? Why do elements randomly jump around for the first 2 minutes? what is the problem there?)
I don't want to just blindly blame JS. Look at this page! JS can be amazing! And I love stuff like Figma (as it's so fast and optimized). But why does the average experience suck so much?
