Honestly, the more things change, the more things stay the same.

Exactly that. We started with mostly static content, to dynamic server side content, to client side rendering, to server side rendering, to static content, to ...
We got popup ads, and popup blockers. Then we got popups for location sharing and notifications, now we're getting blockers for then. We got in page popups for cookies, consent, and news letters... I assume we're going to get blockers for that too.

The only thing that changes is the weight of it all. I expect in 2030 websites to carry the weight of the Doom 3 demo, just like websites today are often much larger that the Doom 1 shareware was.
