"Modern Design" is the Worst Thing to Happen to Websites

The Brave web browser advertises itself as loading web pages "three times faster than Chrome," a claim due very little (if at all) to rendering web pages faster, but rather due largely to blocking large chunks of javascript and ads from loading. The CNN homepage (which is usually the one referenced by Bryan Lunduke) takes a whopping 9.63 MB and almost a minute to download (at least on my crappy American internet). As a point of comparison, my homepage takes up 3.34 KB (according to Librewolf), and Luke Smith's landchad.net homepage takes up 88.4 KB.

"Modern Design" is the Worst Thing to Happen to UIs

If you've ever found an application, which you enjoyed using for years, before the developers suddenly pulled the rug out from under you and forced you to suffer under the plague of developers "modernizing the UI", where now, instead of a beautiful row of buttons, you now have a single button, affectionately known as the "hamburger menu," in order to add an extra step for everything you need to do, then you have been struck by Modern UI Design.
