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.
try Ghostery on your machine. I go to these sites now, and while it’s not like a text-only site, it’s much faster. It blocks or stops the scripts from running when you get there. Breitbart, Forbes, they all run smoothly now.
I do most of my browsing with a text-only browser, lynx, and use a graphical browser (firefox mostly) as needed. Sites either load quickly, or inform me (various ways) that lynx won’t work there. Breitbart feeds the lynx browser.
Then, install the Ad Block plugin, at least. I also recommend Ghostery (blocks tracking).
You can also install NoScript. But, that requires some knowledge and effort: many sites won't render properly if you don't enable Javascript, and you have to enable it temporarily or permanently for that site.
The problem is that many websites use Javascript from OTHER websites, and you have to figure out which one to enable.

Zerohedge is the worst.
Been a lifesaver for me. On my old dial-up line, the Internet would be unusable were it not for AdBlock Plus.
Firefox has something called ‘no script’... it’s a free add on...
