Or what if, we allow tracking and ads, with native speed?
There is the problem of Network that won't / cant be fixed in any short term. Then the problem with Rendering and Reflow.
The first one being a long time before everyone gets 1Gbps internet, the 2nd being even if you have 1Gbps internet it will still be slow due to all the mini scripts.
What if the fonts were there in the first place?
What if the browser actively tack every mouse movement, links etc, bringing 80-90% of all the tracking scripts datapoint, and doing so natively, sending back the data to website as requested.
No more 3 - 5MB of Scripts downloaded per site, no more CPU running of these scripts, no more 1MB of fonts. And they don't cause the page to jank. You get Butterly smooth webpages while still getting Ads.
My biggest problem is with the idea of extending the Web via Javascript and everything should be Javascript only. Rather than extending the Web Browser native function.
Unfortunately this is an idea that Apple may not like, even if the data are anonymised.
FWIW, you have effectively just described the 'app' solution.
In that solution all of the tracking and analytics, fonts, and other 'baseline' content are part of the app, which then fetches the unique content (the few Kb of story text and Mb of images) and then renders it all locally. There is even some ability to do A/B testing in that setup.
The "App" itself is basically a browser with none of the non-content UI controls that browsers normally have, that can only go to a specific URL (the content supplier).
Precisely, but we don't want to be bounded by the App Store ecosystem. And we want to improve the UX of Website, which so far hasn't been great.
As a matter of fact, may be these API for tracking, analytics should be the same across Apps and Browsers.
We tech nerds keeps throwing out new terms, Web App, Web Pages, etc, but to our user they are all the same. They want to consumer information in Text, Video and Images, and in a fast and smooth way without Jank.
