Flyertalk keeps crashing the tabs in safari on my iPad. Result, I now have an adblocker installed.

It’s really bad right now. Page crashes are non stop, that combined with infinite scroll which means you’ve lost the page you were on over and over. It’s not usable.

I think the point is you guys reap what you sow - you’ve put so many buggy and obtrusive ads there, that the only course of action left is to block them all completely.

Can confirm - the continuous iPad crash-fest is Flyertalk only. It’s like a timebomb when trying to post.

It’s the only website that has ever crashed it. Plus given the tab crashes completely, how am I meant to know what ad did it?

I can confirm that AdBlocker relieves FlyerTalk of the crashing ipad problems.

Only if you're on a mobile device, using the desktop skin, and you zoom in. That is going to keep happening, regardless of whether it is an "ad" or anything else in the ad space on the page; we encourage anyone seeing this issue to use the mobile skin.
