Local news websites are some of the worst performing websites. Due to the death of local journalism these websites are deep in the vicious cycle of lower advertising revenue, partnering with bottom tier ad networks that are especially spammy or scammy, breaking their webpage layout with ads, and clickbait content. I remember newspapers and magazines were majority ads by layout area but at least those did not spy on you or make your copy heat up and sound like a hair dryer.

If I cut out the worse 10% of websites I could easily browse on 2007 PC. It's sad that web advertising bloat and Microsoft Teams is a reason to buy a new CPU.

For the weather I stick to Weather.gov.
