On a web browser, so much CRAP is being thrown at it. I can hear the fan spin up and feel the heat coming out as it struggles with all of the junk ads, videos, etc.


I think advertisers are being duped. They pay for ads we never look at or see, but they are "displayed" in the browser as we're trying to read the news.

At work I have IE and FF. I have whatever the adblock du jour is installed, but even more importantly, I have "no script" installed. Sometimes a co-worker will send me a link to an Internet site, maybe some news site or newspaper or something like that. If I click the link and it tries to open in IE, IE struggles. If i copy the link over to firefox where I don't allow all of the horrible add and java crap (you can allow stuff that you trust or know is fine) then the link usually pops right up.
