Anyone here have problems with Breitbart news?

4thIDvet · 05-15-2016, 11:29 AM

O.K. every time I go to Breitbart news my computer freezes up. Like yesterday I had to literally shut it down and re-boot it. Once on the site it freezes up and wont let me change settings?
I have McCaffee? security and it flashed on the screen that the Breibart site is not safe "we recommend you do not open that site" Is it just me or anyone else have this problem.???????

"The Blaze" does the same thing. It's all that trash and ads that hog resources.

Time for a good boot time virus scan and better ad and script blockers.

I try to remember to use the Firefox function that blocks all the BS.
It's the little 'open book' icon that comes up with with the URL.
When I don't, it locks up everything with their stupid download/garbage crap.

Yes. I don't have any problem. I run Adblock Pro from Mozilla.

Be careful downloading Adblock from unknown websites - you might be installing a trojan.

See that is the problem I hear yall on what to do but don't know how to do it. Blaze is not to bad but the damn Breibart literally freezes my screen up. Hell the other day I had to shut the computer off to get it gone.

That's right. Always go through the Add-ons in FF. Matter of fact, you should do that with most all the add-ons in FF.

Go to FF 'Tools' (top of the page menu) then scroll down to 'Add-ons' click and find the search box, type in ad block. Then pick your flavor.

Gimme a hollar if you need help.

RTO out.
