As an aside, it isn't just this anymore either.
I often open up threads using tabs, using Explorer.
Since the upgrade, about 15% of the time a tab opens up with simply the heading "blank page." And then every tabbed page gets stuck and stalls, and eventually I have to shut Explorer down.
Plus the additional ads are seemingly causing pages to load slowly, or--at the very least--cause scrolling down the page to stop and stall.
So now your website isn't just visually ugly, it is also operationally deficient.
