The average Web page now does more than the average Doom install, I don't see the relevance of this.
Although I get really annoyed when I visit a blog post whose page is 100x larger than Dostoevsky's novels in .txt format. On my blog (https://pljns.com/blog/), JQuery and genericons are often my largest file transfers, but I still clock under 500kb.
> 40-pound jQuery file and 83 polyfills give IE7 a boner because it finally has box-shadow

> You loaded all 7 fontfaces of a shitty webfont just so you could say "Hi." at 100px height at the beginning of your site?

Still pretty good site, but it's funny how accurately creator of http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ has described the situation with the modern web :)
Also when people say "Disable javascript" they don't mean go into Preferences and disable javascript. They probably mean install noscript which allows you to blacklist-by-default and enable js with a button click when needed.
In Chrome you can have javascript disabled by default, then whitelist all of the javascript on individual hosts (it does execute all of the javascript on the page, as compared to noscript).
Then on each host, Chrome starts off with no javascript, and there is an icon in the URL bar to enable it. Thus I can enable all javascript for trusted hosts. And in regular mode, that change is permanent, so I'm not bothered
Additionally, open up an incognito, and allow javascript for a host, and that decision is only valid as long as the incognito window is open.
So the workflow is:
1.) Always surf with javascript disabled
2.) Permanently allow all trusted hosts
3.) When needed, temporarily allow a host via incognito (ex: blogspot sites)
You mean "expect", not "suspect." "Suspect" refers to people or facts, "expect" refers to events. (I suspect that English is not your first language, so I expect that you will occasionally make mistakes like this.)
I look forward to hearing my grandkids saying this in disbelief, to which I respond, "No, really, we carted around a massive tank of highly flammable liquid. To make matters worse, we actually steered vehicles ourselves."
