Breitbart has 2 to 4 videos always trying to load and run, plus pop under ads. If you have a low end XP machine, or minimum RAM, they tend to choke on all the content Breitbart is trying to throw at you. TheBlaze.com, Newsmax.com, and WND.com to a lesser extend also have multiple content streams all trying to get your attention. Again, older underpowered computers tend to choke on the firehose of content they push at you.

This is not a rant against conservative web sites, it’s the ONLY one’s I visit, thus I know of the problems. Fixed it with a new i7- 16 GB RAM - 4 GB video card.

Doesn’t help people browsing with tablets, which is an increasing percentage. Breitbart doesn’t even relent on the mobile version of their site.

I have a firefox profile set up just for reading the news (most of which is via links from FR or Instapundit). Adblock Plus with the pop-up addon both turned up to 100% blocking, Ghostery for killing trackers, and the PrefBar addon which lets me turn graphics on/off with one click.

Blazing fast loads, anywhere I go, even on my old netbook with just 2 gig or RAM.

ad block plus should stop most if not all of those ads as well.
