#2How come processors and browsers become faster every year but the internet feels as slow and bloated as ever?
How long can this x% faster continue? There must be some theoretical optimum, how far are we away?

Chrome became so bloated and crap and slow that in 2020 I moved over to Firefox (which has been imperfect, but better), so my anecdata suggests that browsers don't actually get faster overall, but ebb and flow as feature creep and optimization compete for dominance.

Jevons paradox to the rescue: the more ads you can handle, the more you will be served.

#5“improves battery life by up to 0.5%”
To me this line is quite ridiculous.
We all know that Chrome is now the main responsible for battery consumption on any laptop and could be optimized much more.

Genuine question: In what kind of places?

I kinda want to see a standard deviation on those measurements.

Typing this on Midori Android, it feels faast! I was using Firefox until a few days ago, but I feel I should change.
That's on a Galaxy S4, mind you.
Dillo is blazing fast on desktop, but doesn't support https very well. It also doesn't support JavaScript, which isn't a big deal to me.

At the scale that Chrome operates, 0.5% energy reduction globally is massive. All these small gains also add for individual devices as well.
