Ridding a site of Javascript for tracking and ad-serving is the only thing that’s going to speed up a website (something we know Google is never going to do). The site is not going to load faster, because a 100kb JPG loads instantly to begin with. I’m sorry, but having a 100kb JPG be reduced by 35% means absolutely nothing. Coming from Google, the angle they take is faster website loading. Wanna guess which map app is more popular on the iPhone despite that? Convenience trumps everything.

I like the “flatter” interface, but it’s nothing to write home about. Now you have four options: Dark (too dark for me, and too much contrast), Medium Dark (can’t decide if it wants to be dark or light and fails at both), Medium Light (which has no contrast at all and makes the entire interface look like a giant gray box), and Light (which is bright but useable).
