How do regular folks stand browsing the modern web? I have a VM for opening random links with no javascript or ad blocking. When I open certain news sites my laptop fans spin 100% loading all the ads, and it's almost impossible to read the actual story.

@kyle I'm starting to more and more agree with @tbernard that we need web browsers start in private mode by default.

At least I think they should open URLs from external sources in a private mode window, with a simple way to reopen it into the regular mode.

@KekunPlazas @kyle @tbernard Firefox Focus does that, and regular Firefox can be configured to clear everything when closed too. It also turns up the anti-tracking protection when in private browsing.
