This list is sorted by CPU usage.
This is ridiculous. What the heck is running on that page that needs ANY CPU? It should be static content.
I don't want to get an ad blocker. I like FT. I'm happy to support it. I'd pay a nominal annual fee for an ad free version.

This is on pretty much every computer I own (multiple MacBook Pros, a Chromebook, a Windows desktop, etc.). No other website I frequent has the CPU issue (though RAM is another matter entirely).
