New York Times phasing out all 3rd-party advertising data

For comparison, I disabled ublock origin and privacy badger and loaded https://fivethirtyeight.com which is in the same realm - heavy text content with several interactive widgets, video and audio embeds.

Render time for my (aging) macbook pro is within the acceptable threshold (< 1500ms), memory snapshot in firefox is ~90Mb, and it feels like it loads quickly and responsively. It could be better - but it's infinitely more usable than NYT for me.

I don't think 1.5sec render time is acceptable for a webpage whose main payload of interest is 2-5kb of text (the article).

There's no articles on the page linked, and all the graphs on the right are dynamically rendered

Optimisation opportunities: if you have a dynamically generated image, and you haven't yet received user input, statically generate it.
