using Chrome on Dell laptop, no popup blocker beyond what company firewall has in place ... the "Page Unresponsive; you can wait for the pages to become responsive or exit the page" popup has been appearing about every minute or two, regardless of which FT page I'm on; the grey popup box at lower left frequently says "Resolving host" or "Establishing secure connection" or "Waiting for bidder.criteo.com" or "Waiting for pagead2.googlesyndication.com" or similar

I fully understand that the ads are FT's revenue source, but this recurring not-particularly-friendly mechanization is driving me to spend more time on my iPhone version with the popup blocker
