Would the internet be significantly faster if there wasn't so much farming of metadata / cookies? - eviltoast

I grew up during the dial up era of internet and remember how insane it was each time the technology improved, broadband, dsl, fiber etc.

I wouldn’t expect pages to instantly load, but I have to imagine all the data farming is causing sites to be extremely bogged down.

    Thank you, I wasn’t sure if I was just getting impatient with websites and not appreciating how far we’ve come since DSL. It’s made sense in my head but it always felt like a mildy dumb question
