What part of a site loading is it that slows down to 5 to 10 seconds for you? What does the Network tab show?

Where do you find websites that takes 5-10 seconds for you to load on Firefox?
Neither of the news sites, forums or self-hosted webuis I use take close to that. Even when I set disable caching and reload something heavy like the steam storepage I can’t get the browser to take 5 seconds to load it in.

How do you feel about being a part of giving Google control over the whole browser ecosystem by using a Chromium based browser?

Traefik merge code written by AI, f.e. https://github.com/traefik/traefik/pull/13397
As do Caddy, such as https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/7492 and https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/pull/7666

They seem to merge AI code too, from OPs codeberg link: https://github.com/nginx/nginx/pull/1451

I think pivoting to BSD is the easiest way to find solutions that aren’t tainted by AI.

An example of OpenBSD denying AI code contributions:

edit: Seems even OpenBSD is tainted nowadays, from your own link https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/9c2b8e445a0bdfafdd6148b1760f00aa5429627b and https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/e9af5eb5a61d189327b553b24d0d31f19c64b63f

edit 2: Here’s the only relevant mail threads I found regarding the AI contributions in openbsd

Authors of The Pragmatic Programmer which has many tips and concepts, including the DRY principle which states that “Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system”.

Doesn’t help me understand OP fully, but makes me understand the context a bit.

For floss operating systems someone will inevitably maintain a (potentially illegal) fork/patch that bypasses the age check. The same will be true for repos and flathub, there will be a mirror without verification for most stuff. Just like youtube hasn’t been able to smash yt-dlp yet I imagine that there will be bypasses that fake an “adult token” to send to websites.

What we can do is:
a) Join organizations, eff.org exists and maybe your country has a local organization too?
b) Discuss privacy with friends, we all have things we’d rather keep hidden - a medical journal, a hobby most find childish or a kinky sex toy. That doesn’t make us criminal. Encourage them to accept newsletters from eff and similar groups.
c) Question your politicians about their view on privacy, we must make noise for them to care.
d) Submit letters to your local newspaper in regards to privacy. If they publish it that’s a win and if they don’t then maybe you got a journalist interested enough to write a full article. Someday.
e) Join politics and work inside the system to protect privacy for everyone.
f) Go offline. Host get-togethers in real life, create regular groups that meet outside the internet, read books, play tabletop games.
g) Become a hermit, plant potatoes, feed the birds. Live far away from town.
