Bad/bloated web design

<< < (50/50)

MrMobodies:
Just noticed these things again but they don't flash or seem to take much much resources especially during pausing the page.


Well this is nice for a change.

I still don't like them as it is extra things to load but a lot better than resource wasting decorations that flash and annoy.

If they stop that animated placeholder nonsense I am hoping that others would follow such as Ebay.

One good change so thank you very much Amazon.

Oh, the autoplay sound and video. It's super annoying when you open a page, and suddenly, noise blasts out of nowhere! It's especially rough when you're browsing in a quiet place. And then there's the excessive fake loading spinners. They trick you into thinking something's happening when it wastes your time. Both disrupt the browsing experience and make you want to close the tab ASAP.

PlainName:
If you're using FireFox, a decent addon is Disable Autoplay. It does what it says, but still allows you to manually play whatever it is by clicking on it.
