Now I know why Yahoo! Mail loads so slowly on a conventional web browser - too many trackers on the page.

Yahoo!
headandbodytags are laden with*.jsfiles all running as soon the page loads, which greatly slows down my low-end PC. That's too much data stolen upon loading.By the way, some people think that by paying for Yahoo! Mail's premium upgrade, Yahoo! will be much less interested on collecting their personal data. Just the same with people paying Apple.
My guess is the trend has change, analytics scripts are starting to focus on behaviors (still get your personal data, etc.) such as cursor patterns, date/time you usuall access a site, what probable you open after doing certain tasks, these analytics are getting nosy.
That is why I strongly prefer open-source software that is easily verifiable with SRI and checksums.
SRI or Subresource Integrity is used for websites that load Javascript, to ensure that the scripts loaded were not tampered with at any time from webserver to the client's browser.
I just learned that few months ago too, certain CDN JS now requires integrity/hash and "anonymous" attribs, it will fail if not supplies correctly to the script tag.
I think I've seen worse. If it wasn't for Brave I wouldn't have figured out the full extent of this madness.
While the Mozilla Firefox does a decent job in blocking trackers without extensions, Brave Browser does a great job in that without the need for extensions.
I would still like to mention that the Firefox browser's user interface is significantly better than Brave.
I think it's important to avoid using extensions as much as possible!
Not necessarily. Even the founders of Mozilla Firefox recommend installing an adblocker for the Firefox browser.
What I think is really important is to avoid Big Tech as much as possible.
I think extensions for Google Chrome can sometimes access information in your browser that it shouldn't.
At least that is what I heard 👍
Google Chrome extensions can always access information in the browser whenever they want to (and send them anywhere they want), not to mention Google Chrome itself.
Horrible.
I agree!
