Do we think this page loads enough ads?
The graphs are interesting but, really, if you’re considering your readers rather than SEOing for last decade’s search engine technology, you should lead with them and discuss the findings afterwards.
I.e., get to the point quickly and then unpack the detail.
It’s interesting seeing where the incremental vs revolutionary improvements have occurred. CPU-wise, a huge leap with the 3 and then solid but steady improvement with 4 and 5. But the most meaningful jump in GPU performance seems to be 4 -> 5, and I’d be really interested in what that maybe opens up in terms of console emulation.
Anyway, fewers ads, please. Scanning through the article on mobile felt like playing hopscotch in a minefield.
I'll always agree that sites should be clear of ads, but ad blockers are the true solution. I can't stand browsing the internet without one.
And had I been on a desktop browser (thanks uBlock Origin), or sitting behind pihole, I'd never have noticed, but unfortunately with Safari on my iPhone over 5G... not so much.
