Can you even begin to imagine how much of the Internet's total bandwidth is used on adware/shovelware/crapware? And crazier still, how much of the world finds most of the web completely unusable as a result?

Imagine trying to browse modern web pages on a dial-up speed connection. Many sites now completely refuse to load until you load their JS, which calls some external JS, which then renders the page. I run almost every web page without JS and Cloudflare is the number 1 reason for not being able to access a page.
