There are better places to reduce traffic while simultaneously enhancing
security and privacy.  The new EU version of the home page of USA Today
is about 20% the size of the one presented in the US -- because it's
had all the tracking and scripting stripped out -- with a concomitant
reduction in load time and rendering time.
That's awesome, that page fully loaded instantly (roughly in half a second) and uBlock Origin blocked 0 elements. 291KB for the home page.

This is a sight I want to see more.
