Modern web bloat means some pages load 21MB of data - entry-level phones can't run some simple web pages, and some sites are harder to render than PUBG

    Ad blockers don’t protect you against dumbass frontend devs who serve 5mb png files to be stuffed into 600x400 boxes.

        Is 50kb enough or should I go higher.

        Also. Thanks!

          I have mine at 50kb, and most things load, but I do get some images that don’t. Just play with it and increase it until the frequency you need to tap pictures to render them doesn’t piss you off anymore.

      No but the good blockers give you the power to disable elements on a case by case basis.

      Removing the background image for fandom wiki articles makes them load 3x faster.
