While I appreciate that this company is trying to solve a real problem many people have and generally the trend of software has been to move more things into the cloud, my personal trend has been the opposite. I prefer apps that run locally. Of course as someone who understands computers I have that option but at the same time I learned how computers work precisely for the sake of having that option.

Personally my solution to the “slow web” problem is to disable JavaScript completely for casual browsing. It works beautifully.

It’ll be interesting to see how the pendulum swings back from this, if it ever does.
