Don't speak for the lot of us.

I want to go back to websites that were actually just functional websites that did the thing they were designed to do and nothing more.

Most people don't actually want that unfortunately. I agree with you but the numbers don't lie. People love bloated and annoying websites

Are you sure? Because I'd bet that people don't think about it enough to say they love it or hate it. Most people don't understand that the internet doesn't have to be this way. Its our job to enlighten them to that, I think.

Unfortunately people want things like websites being easily readable regardless of device form factor, language being automatically detected, ability to choose font families for readability... I know, people are idiots.

yeah that can all (except language) happen browser-side easily

and language, now the website knows i speak english. there's 1.5 billion people speaking english. that alone does not identify me.
