Breitbart still making anybody’s computers to crash? Mine does.
It’s probably your browser. MS Explorer kept crashing on me. Google Chrome does not.
I had to stop going there. Frankly, the whole internet (other than archaic sites like FR) has slowed down due to all the scripts running in the background. I feel like I’m using my old 486 again when I hit most sites.
I just avoid those sites now.
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.

I won’t even go there anymore and I know others who feel the same way...
If Breitbart could only place more ADs on their pages it would help everyone’s browser.</sarcasm>
Everytime
Makes the browser on my iPad crash. I got so tired of it that I went out and bought a cheap android tablet. This let’s me run a browser with AdBlock so that Breitbart is tolerable.
I’d boycott Breitbart, but I haven’t found a good alternative site with breaking news updates and conservative comments. Freerepublic.com used you be that place, but after the great purges of the last two elections and after the overzealous sidebar moderator was installed, it’s become almost useless for timely news updates. I routinely see Breitbart stories appear in the Front Page or Breaking News sidebars 1 or 2 days after they are first posted on Breitbart.
Yep. On two different computers and two different browsers: Safari on the first, and Firefox on the second.
Breitbart has a huge amount of active adobe flash going on in it’s sidebar ads etc. It will crash your browser.
Mine too. It's sad that it's such a horrible malware receptacle. Ironic because before he was a famous conservative pundit Breitbart was the guru who laid out the basic designs for several high traffice sites including Drudge and HuffPo.
Were he still alive I'm sure the site would work much better. They have hired some excellent reporters and personalities, but seem sorely lacking on technical chops. It's a mess.
