<i>Most things</i> worked far, far better 10 years ago than today.  Apparently this is progress.<p>Social everything means we can&#x27;t visit a website today without calls to a billion external domains.  Phones are doing the same as they&#x27;re mini-tablets that suck at actual phone calls.  Operating systems have taken on mobile centric (and the hideous flatten everything) design that is broken paradigm for a 15&quot; laptop or 24&quot; desktop screen.  Firefox was a stripped down, light browser so it stayed fast - now they include more useless garbage than Netscape Communicator ever did.  All that crap should be in official plugins so you add pocket only if you want it etc.<p>Nothing at all is user centric any more, it&#x27;s all about how much lovely data can be sent back to hundreds of places.<p>The web is a lot prettier these days to be fair, but I don&#x27;t call that progress if it&#x27;s at a cost of a 1TB page load.<p>I could go on, but you get the idea.. :)
