I was about to dispute what you said, but I realised I was running uBlock origin. What machine and browser are you using? I just used Chrome (on MacOS using an M1 Pro CPU) to run a performance profile and loading cnn.com took the following:

- Loading: 29ms with uBlock vs 42ms without

- Scripting: 548ms vs 1850ms (!!)

- Rendering: 42ms vs 105ms

- Painting: 8ms vs 29ms

- System: 216ms vs 295ms

- Idle: 460ms vs 8707ms

Holy shit, advertising and trackers are absolute resource hogs.
