Do you have a technical issue? What is it? When did it start?

I have a technical issue that hasn't been addressed. Posted in the "ridiculous CPU/RAM usage" thread, but here it is again. It's been happening for months and my conclusion is that it's due to the ad scripts that are running on FT.

And this is memory usage with an ad blocker turned on:


The obvious conclusion is that the ad scripts on FT are significantly degrading not only the site user experience, but impacting the overall performance of our machines. This needs to be fixed.

This has been reported to my ad ops people. Hopefully at some point it improves. I don't have a workaround for you in the meantime, I'm sorry.

Hope? Is that it?

Last year when the ads were out of control we were being told of a solution coming in 2018. Has it happened? Didn't it work? Or it hasn't happened yet? Or it's not happening at all?

Been experimenting with different browsers, and all crash, very often, but only when FT is open. IE, Firefox, and Chrome. I7 with 16gb ram, 256SSD for OS, and a 4TB for storage. Pretty sure my PC is solid...

That was specifically about the mobile ad popups/hijacks... have you seen any lately?

I didn't take screen shots of memory usage, but they weren't what I would consider high for my pc, maybe 5% max regardless of browser. And that was with multiple tabs open within a browser. Your team is welcome to remote in and see if I'm missing something.

Pretty sure we were seeing some crypto currency mining going on from one of the ads. I've now enabled something to block ads for FT as this is the only site that this has ever happened - this was the second time within a few months. Fool me once...

Of all the sites I frequently visit, this one is absolutely and unconditionally the worst! It is bad, Bad, BAD. Is there any hope at all that it will get better?

Hard to tell if anyone is listening to these complaints.

Agree -- I am also getting occasional weird short bursts of autoplay audio, like something is trying to launch and being stopped, when on a page for longer than 60 seconds or so.
I have this issue, also if I'm on a page too long then the page is slow to respond. Why has these issues been going on this long???
