Anyone using ublock origin hardmode will know what I’m talking about.
Pretty much all websites (I’d say at least 75% from experience) use one of the following scripts:
google (.com)
gstatic
Google fonts
googletagmanagers (disabling this one, never breaks any websites)
Mostly because of recaptacha.
How can we know that these scripts only contain recaptacha fonctionality and nothing else?
Good news, today’s improvements to the Web platform makes making websites without bloated JS/3rd party scripts very easy.
Bad news, most people do not care indeed.
But it is definitely doable to have a “healthy” website with none of that fluff.
Hm…not really. Most of the time, the code shipped into production especially 3rd party scripts like here will be minified and hence not readable even for a seasoned web developer because just machine-optimized gibberish[1].
Takes time to bring some giants down to their knees indeed.
