    I dont think websites is a good example, Javascript barely existed back in the day, now you’ve pages that look like animated books as you scroll. Videos also used to be 120p, now they are 4k.

    But I’m at like 2-5% cpu usage with firefox and many tabs open, KDE, a file manager, and software center; most of the usage seems to be from the task manager itself. I think its likely some high level language like Javascript slowing things down, which is done to sandbox things and sterilize third party code thats run without vetting.
