It’s so slow that I had time to take my phone out and take this video after I typed all the letters. How is this even possible?

    Heh. Can you imagine how fast Facebook et al would have to scale this stuff back if there were some kind of law that stated that any of their code other than css and html had to be executed on their own servers rather than in each user’s browser?

    The CPU/RAM offload of using every end user’s browser/device instead of their own server cycles for this has to be immense.

      Heh, that’s what I thought first when I saw Google’s FLoC proposal. They’re moving the privacy invasion to be run on my computer!
