Or Chinese, which is even denser. If Latin-based languages are the equivalent of the C family, then Chinese and Japanese would be like the APL family.

I'm a native speaker and I find those dense website hard to read. Harder than English (my second language) ones.

I think it's a "grass is greener" case. I appreciate the trend of adding extra padding around the English internet a lot. If they're designed like their Chinese counterparts they'll be barely readable for me.
