Containing web bloat 2022-10-20T13:20:11-07:00 https://web.archive.org/web/20221024151834/https://mastodon.sdf.org/@khm/109201860585444737 Web technology has gotten bigger because web engineers just don’t care SocialMediaPosting khm https://sciops.net/

Here is how I propose browsers address web bloat:

  1. Stop adding features unrelated to accessibility, security, privacy, and internationalization.

  2. Adopt a default document policy that restricts oversized assets and download size.

  3. Make JIT-compilation a per-site opt-in permission. That should rein in over-reliance on JS.

This should mostly contain the bloat problem without significantly inconveniencing most users, which is why it will never happen.
