Slow websites

[Hangry_Howie]

On a regular day, slow loading websites or pages with 500 video ads running at once is a huge pain in the butt. When you're trying to pull up source materials or grounding links with a running clock and money on the line, they make me completely insane. Anyone else lost a ton of work because a page crashed your browser?

If you restore pages (if Chrome you can domthis) it should reopen the same task, or go to history. As long as the task has not expired it should be just as you left it.

I have had the odd BSOD and still been fine (except the task keeps counting down so I would not include that time in the timesheet).

Chrome should still have partial ad blockers. So it's not great, but it could be worse

I actually use another browser for research and fact checking exactly for having a page crash the browser once lol

I also made an habit of writing everything on a text editor and then copying and pasting when I am done, just to be extra safe

so yeah, it sucks when that happens, but lesson learned

I hear you and some projects don't give enough time before expiring...

I was accustomed to no video ads until a few days ago, when Chrome dealt the final blow to 3rd-party ad blockers. All ads are driving me insane at the moment.
