It’s an old idea that keeps resurfacing and frankly I think it misses the real problem of modern websites: they’re too bloated with code that the user is expected to run and yet isn’t there to serve the user.

I’d love to see a world where cloud computing / time sharing was tipped on its head and users and businesses could charge back their compute time spent running JavaScript trackers, analytics, etc from the sites their users visit. Of course this fantasy would never be technically possible but one can dream.
