“The Blaze” is pop-up hell. I avoid it.

I stopped visiting when they went with the click bait headlines. Instead of telling you what the story is about, they’ll write something like, “You are not going to believe what this mother did... Click here.”

Try the NoScript add-on. Should fix the issue.

Christian Post and Townhall make my computer sound like a whirlibird trying to take off, I’ve had that some with the Blaze too. Maybe I will try IE more just for those sites though google chrome makes noise too.

I use windows but when I turn up the security of ‘ActiveX’ in Internet options the auto-run video does not play unless I specifically click ‘Turn off tracking protection’. So then no video automatically plays. Now I stumbled on this and don't really know why this works but it saves load up time on each new page...

Yep. Both the Blaze and Lucianne.com have so many pop-up ads, video ads, ads that insist that your browser is out dated and you MUST download this "free" update, that many times the computer locks up.

Any 'url' that has the word "conduit" in it, is poison to your computer.

They are like toenail fungus, it becomes a life time disease.

I have stopped going to the Blaze and have very limited contact with lucianne.

The quarterly fund raisers at FR, are a pain, but since there are no pop up ads, I don't mind a quarterly donation.

I wish Jim would put a minimum use charge for everyone, which would spread the collection basket for every body to participate in the support of FR {but that ain't gonna happen}.

There a saying “Keep It Simple Stupid”. Some websites have too many bells and whistles. Just look at this site. All the content without the glitz. Jim was ahead of his time.

Add my voice to the chorus. Autorun vids totally irritate me, especially when they turn the sound back on after you’ve turned it off. I avoid the site for that reason.

Tonight The Blaze website got formatted wrong with Firefox and Firefox based browsers like Quipzilla. I can only see and make comments on Opera and Chrome. And the Hompage works right on those Browsers.

I just disabled Ad Block Plus on The Blaze in Firefox and it is working right now. Not sure about Quipzilla as it had no blocker.

Another thing you can do (and I didn’t have time to scroll through all of the replies) is to download The Blaze App. In the app there is a news section that goes right to the news stories without all of the annoying ads. The only downfall is that you won’t be able to read the “comments” section which is half the fun.
