A video advertisement that links to the site below keeps completely bogging down my FT experience:
http://www.ok.de/
The ad repeats incessantly and I can't imagine why a german language web site wants to target me in Canada.
I'm using Windows 7 on an almost new Thinkpad with Google Chrome.

and you can see it took me 12 minutes to edit - which involved adding the screenprint and saving edit .. during which time it crashed twice.

Any time I open FT, it completely freezes my entire Firefox. I have to open it in IE, but it is much slower to use.

I'm not sure which video ad it is but there are currently MAJOR issues with lag due to it - takes ages to scroll, massive CPU usage (and consequent battery hit) with >1.5GB of memory being allocated to Shockwave Flash when I checked in Chrome Task Manager. Killing the process immediately fixes things but it makes the website pretty much unusable on a desktop machine at present! There were also previous issues with sound from video ads playing without being requested, which was extremely annoying.
Any chance to just getting rid of video ads altogether please?!
