I kind of want web browsers to give a budget of layout changes. Once a page does enough things to exceed the budget, too bad, your layout is stuck there.

If the user does something interactive to warrant further layout changes, then you're allowed to start changing things again.

The idea is to make it cost something to change the layout. Then people will have to actually try not to do it excessively.

On many sites the layout isnt even relevant, and all people actually want is to read the plaintext and locate any relevant images amongst the chaos. Im wondering about a browser extension or something that extracts this information directly and re-renders it in simple (like year 2000 era) html. I would kill for this on my phone.
