You're 100% right. uBlock Origin can reduce page weight by an astronomical amount.

uMatrix (unsupported but still works) reduces page weight and compute even more

it allows javascript on the original site domain, but turns it off for external domains, buts then lets you selectively turn it back on, and remembers what you've selected. Turning off javascript turns off a lot of both addtional downloading and cpu cycles. for impatient people it's tedious, but for minimalists it's heaven.

If you enable the Advanced Features mode of Ublock Origin you get access to just about all the things uMatrix does
