gollark: > With extern isolation, calling into C cannot cause Vale code to crash. Is this a challenge?
gollark: Thus advertising bad.
gollark: > 1) same on youtube for the same qualityIt can pick a quality depending on connection quality and such. You can also do this but it's hard.> 2) you are overly optimistic about the bloat of modern websites. I just loaded a random ad-loaded heavy website and the two biggest scripts along are already 1 MBOh dear.
