Though the ad blocker is mostly there because it’s not “some ads” on a webpage, almost every single website has gone to a massive amount of Flash ads. I gained an insane performance increase when I killed Flash automatically running.

It’s also the curse of having “more power” on devices. No one wants to write good code for Websites. It’s been a very noticeable trend since the early 2000s that only gets worse with time. Heck, Google themselves have been badly compromised by the problem as well, and they’re the ones that really pushed the “slick”/”no frills” website look.
