Gee, what a shock that bloated, slow-loading websites that get trimmed end up loading faster. It's not only annoying ads. Simply disable JavaScript, which reduces the desired function of the site, but such an action increases the speed of the site.

"Tests of top 50 news sites with three ad-blockers on iPhone show significant decrease in load times for many sites, modest increase in battery life"

What's sad and somewhat bizarre is that people are surprised at the page load speed of a single article page when ads and JavaScript are disabled.

Better late than never in discovering their sites' UX problem.

> I think there's too much blame being placed on programmatic advertising. That's no excuse for 14MB pages, fixed position ads, trackers pinging the network for a full minute, etc.
