Amen!!

That’s why it’s so hard to read all the attched articles here every time.

I’m not lazy or disintersted, just dont want my PC frozen to look at a few paragraphs.

I never go on sfgate, the NY slimes, UK guardian, Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, and many other left-wing fish wrap papers.

all SFGate does is pretty much crash your PC with ads.

You don't have to put up with that. It came up in less than 1 second on my computer. Why? "Ghostery" showed they threw 20+ trackers, ads, analytics-type apps at me. If one or more of those hangs up, you will wait forever (as happened to you) for the site to come up. None of them got through except for a few I allow. It is an extension added to your browser. Go to ghostery.com.

It blocked their comment section, so all I did was click on the Ghostery message and selected "allow once." No problem.

If you get it, it will seem like you have a new computer on a faster internet connection. If you don't like it, disable it on your browser.

Are adblockers, ghostery, etc. evil? They do reduce the amount of info sellers get about you, which decreases their income. Since one starts using these with good results, then a bunch of others jump on and pretty soon you have 20+ of them checking you out. One or two you won't notice, but when they get greedy, they become a pain in the butt, which means your computer appears to slow down and sometimes locks up due to poorly written intrusive apps.
