Yes, I'm the same. I realised that I was having problems with Chrome loading slowly on my PC, probably because of all the Do Not Track and other anonymising add-ons I weight it down with, but SQ is far and away the worst performer using Chrome (as I have it configured) of any site I access. I switched to Epic which has Do Not Track and other tools built in and it's a lot faster (but still not great). However when I attempt to make a booking I get "prove you're a human being" alerts from SQ (also never happens with anyone else). I just put it down to Singapore being both an authoritarian state and wanting to intrude on my browsing activity. The Apps are not
too bad but I'm using the beta of their iPhone App and that also loads very slowly. I had a lot of trouble making payments to secure a booking last week and eventually booked/paid via an online travel agent
