Hey, is anyone else noticing that websites, especially major websites, are stuffing their pages with more and more advertising and junk. My computer is starting to react slowly to it, and we are right back to the start of the web when computers would seize up, we rebooted all the time.
I keep my computer updated and I still have this problem. It isn't the websites' content that causes it. You're right, it's the stupid ads. The dumb, egotistical advertising managers are constantly updating their software to create their annoying animated banners and pop-up crap. So if you don't have the absolute latest version of Flash or whatever running, they'll freeze your browser.
Lately I keep my volume turned off because the advertising assholes love loud auto-play videos that launch and start blasting immediately.
I agree with the late, great Bill Hicks:
