   @emily If you mean to count the whole webpage as the adblocker mention seems to indicate, it's been true for many years against mainstream websites already, because images are typically not resized and 10+ MB of JavaScript is a thing.
   
   Like purely worst case where there's *no* compression, only color indexing: A FullHD screenshot would end up at 1920×1080×8 = 16588800 ≈ 16.5 MiB.
   Mainstream websites are worst than even that.

     oh no, I just realized something: HTML gets more bloated over time. Image compression improves over time. There will come a day, if it hasn't already, when - even with an ad blocker - it is actually more bandwidth-efficient to share a screenshot than a link due to the sheer volume of meaningless container divs.

     HTML is when you put pictures and words together, and it is not possible
