Google Chrome Labs releases open source, browser-based image optimization tool, Squoosh
As web pages have advanced over the years, they have also dramatically increased in size. This has gradually contributed to pages loading slower and slower. To help web developers easily optimize their pages, Google Chrome Labs has released a new web tool called Squoosh that can downsize, compress, and reformat images.
[...] Supporting a variety of web formats like MozJPEG and WebP and traditional ones like PNG, Squoosh allows you to quickly make your images web-ready. The app is able to do 1:1 visual comparisons of the original image and its compressed counterpart, to help you understand the pros and cons of each format.

It's not for the visitor. It's for the webmaster. The 2 MB of ad scripts aren't a problem since its hosted somewhere else. So they optimize the images.
