Most of that software are bloated SPAs that somehow manage to be slower than a complete page reload of any website or app, that is rendered server side using any traditional web framework statically rendering HTML templates.
And adTech. I’ve been a happy user or the local gumtree [0] that always worked fine with my 9yo iPhone… until last year: the business model seems to have changed as they added in-list advertisement and I can only scroll the products list until the first ad wrapper shows up. Then the UI freeze and never gets back to life. I don’t even see the advertisements itself.
Edit: just tried it again and seems they fixed it! The ads stays in loading state forever but the site is usable again. Wonder if they did something on their side or if they changed ad provider.
