True. Unfortunately many large corporate websites through which you pay bills, order tickets, etc. are becoming infested with JS widgets and bulky, slow interfaces. These are hard to avoid.

Huh. A weighted algorithm, somewhere between Google and the one linked, where you could subtract from sites by amount of JavaScript might be interesting.

If one could create an metric of ad to content ratio from the js used, I would guess that would be a nice differentiator too.

Browsers should be cherry picking the most compelling things that people accomplish with complex code and supporting them as a native feature. Maybe the Browser Wars aren’t keeping up anymore.

Was that ever in doubt?
