tanstack.com incredibely slow due to ads

Describe the bug

tanstack.com is being incredibly slow [for me] due to ads and a plethora of trackers (I think I counted up to 91 trackers or ads). This has been the case for a long time, but I feel like it's getting worse, to the point that the tab with it open often just hangs. I often see it using up to 170% CPU and up to 1 GB RAM in the Google Chrome Task Manager. I have a high-end laptop with 65 GB of RAM and a 16-core CPU (Intel Core Ultra 7).

This is the 2d time ever I have had to reject all cookies and enable an ad blocker on an open-source project site to make it usable due to the ads. (There also seems to be a bit of irony in this, it being a docs site for a data fetching library.)

Note: I have no issues with ads themselves and normally disable my ad blockers for open-source (& other) projects specifically.
