Surfing the internet used to be my hands down favorite time waster. Funny videos, interesting articles and mind melting list sprees are some of my favorite past-times but advertising has nearly ruined it for me. I don't mind adverts really, they're a necessary evil, it's how people who have good content make money. The games I play run fine and at decent quality, but my browser slows to a crawl while trying to display 13 java ads simultaneously. Also, whats this garbage of turning lists from a long scroll-able page to 10-30 pages of slow loading, click by click agony with 2 separate embedded advert videos that play overlapping audio. Two commercials playing loudly, unexpectedly and simultaneously is enough to engulf me in a miasma of chaos and insanity. Why, sweet gods why?!
I could upgrade my computer I suppose or use adblocker .......but I'm lazy ...really lazy ......and waste time on the internet. I'd rather just stumble on.. to a site with less advertising, or possibly a website that's spent time and money properly embedding and streamlining the way they advertise. I dunno, maybe I need to move on from firefox, I hear chrome is superior. Either way, someone is about to lose my clicks for shoddy advertising techniques.
