we could be running pentium 3 machines and get same performance today, websites were built with vanillajs rather than react which adds 100x overhead in filesize and probably 10x overhead in performance
Discussion
if we would use qt apps instead of javascript, we could get same performance on pentium 1 or 2 machines
its funny how web degenerated
>invent html markup language
>now everyone can make websites
>make js
>make google, facebook, youtube
>make react
>make all websites using react
>get 100x performance degradation
>fill all websites with ads
>fill all websites with cookie popups
>now everyone uses only 3 website for all their web surfing needs
could as well have downloaded 3 native apps instead of even inventing html and js
