MODERATORS
Rotten tomatoes is a special kind of hell. The reviews section is coded like absolute trash. It first loads a bunch of reviews. Then, when you click the load more button, it loads a bunch more, and goes through a really slow (and compute heavy, for some reason) JavaScript loop through every previously loaded review, and the newly loaded ones. I guess it does that to build the HTML from the list of reviews from an API or something. It's bearable for the first few pages, but after 20 pages, the loop takes so much time to complete that librewolf warns me the tab may have crashed. You can just wait and it ends up loading, after making my PC sweat for minutes. I don't have a very old PC.
