    Or we stop promoting flights at all, cheap or expensive, just an idea to keep CO2 levels down.

    Pff, what can we do to break the ad industry? It sucks on so many levels.

    Yes, and use https://webtest.app to show the world we can speed up the web by blocking ads.

    That's because there is more room for thumbnails in the right column because there is no ad on top. Weird right :). We have to block more!

    Nice write-up. What is your opinion on the following: Ads make people buy stuff they don't need. So if we would stop with ads everywhere, we can save the planet.

    Great project! The energy footprint of the internet is huge and should be addressed. For example: https://webtest.app/?url=https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/

    It's also just one test, and not hundreds. I just reran it, the result is now the other way around.

    Yeah I agree, but I have no idea where to get or even measure any metrics.

    Nobody cares, everybody just wants to monetize, while not even knowing which of those requests result in revenue. Just load everything and see what happens!
