Public OWB (beta) release

Chromium on the Pi can see them with a ublock exception, but Firefox on the laptop didn’t even show any blocked scripts.

Firefox on my old Mac laptop had no problems. Haven’t tried it on the newer Mac Mini or on NetSurf on the Pi, nor on Safari anywhere.

To be honest, I wish I hadn’t bothered.

I agree – the logos are pretty poor. I remember we had (after yet another reorganisation) a new logo professionally designed – it looked good in colour (red and black) but when you xeroxed it, it then looked like a vomit stain. Dilbert said it well

the logos are pretty poor

Like I said, it’s hard to design a good logo.
And I certainly wouldn’t pass the task to any Artificial Idiocy.
However, it might be useful as inspiration before engaging some actual biological intelligence to do the job properly…?

Dilbert said it well

I didn’t look to see where that link actually went, but it was worse than useless on mobile. Images scaled with no anti-aliasing, an unreadable mass of gibberish.

but when you xeroxed it

Place where I worked a billion years ago, the boss wasn’t interested in my less than enthusiastic option of a logo that was red on black.
My concern was colour blindness and it turns out (as ought to have been obvious) that mono photocopiers suffer from a similar affliction. They had been sending out loads of papers where the fancy logo was…a black square and nobody else noticed (or cared?).
I didn’t bother to raise the issue again.

Images scaled with no anti-aliasing

I’ve not looked recently, but the Virgin Media web page was “fun” if you did anything that killed the CSS
Items that showed on screen with CSS scaling as filling a 1.5cm square, filled the screen without the scaling.

It is, of course, a “network problem”¹ when that kind of cr** doesn’t load fast.
Just like apps that require 1GB of memory and run slowly on machines with 1GB running other apps at the same time are a “network problem”²

¹ “Network problems” like that don’t normally get to the network team these days as various other staff have had sufficient training to call out the bull when first uttered.

How off-topic have we got now?

Not far enough to lose sight of the conclusion that the so-called bad performance of a browser might well be a perception distorted by incredibly bad web page assembly (I refuse to call it “design”)
