Anecdotally it feels like all of these sites are super fast right now. I even reinstalled the heinous Weather Channel app and it’s working wonderfully. With ads that app is essentially unusable on an iPhone 14.
Should be faster I think. Pihole just refuses to resolve ads servers and generally improves performance, right?
If the ad server is instead taking a long time to respond, it'll probably make pages load slower.
Only very very poorly built websites. So all the news sites.
There are definitely a thousand people here more qualified on this stuff (I write Fortran lol) but I thought JavaScript was all asynchronous now? Shouldn’t the actually desired content load independently of the ads?
Fortran is cool, what do you work on?
Parallel linear system solvers.
Grad student, so mostly I use Fortran so it’ll plug into my professor’s code more easily, haha.
No complaints, though. It is a fine language.
Requests for remote content don’t delay rendering of the page. Everything will be significantly faster.
CNN is zippy without the chumboxes. Time to party like it's 1999.
