    A perennial problem.

  It appears the author seems to be neglecting his optimized website in favour of a Substack[1]. Never revisit(?) your heroes I suppose. [1] https://mceglowski.substack.com/ https://mceglowski.substack.com/

  Personally the cure for most of that has been to have js off by default. It's certainly a bit clunky especially when you are first growing your list of allowed sites and third party connections but ultimately it kills off so many annoyances and improves performance enough that it has been 100% worth it for me. First it was noscript them I switched to ublock origins advanced mode.
