1391846 2015-01-10 12:33:00 I am running Firefox 34.0.5 and Adblock Plus 2.6.6 on my PC and have recently noticed that many webpages are very slow to open or refresh.

This has become very annoying.

Disabling Adblock Plus presents me with so much crap.

Are there some better alternatives available?

I hate IE Explorer :(

1391847 2015-01-10 13:21:00 Is it faster if you disable Addblock? I'd say that's unlikely. WarNox (8772)
1391848 2015-01-10 19:35:00 No, the slowness appears to be the same regardless :(

Firefox has been my web browser of choice for several years, but it is only recent that it has become so slow opening on many pages.

1391849 2015-01-10 19:43:00 You could try ghostery instead of adblock see if it makes a difference gary67 (56)
1391850 2015-01-10 19:56:00 Thanks - I will give it a try. Zippity (58)
1391851 2015-01-10 20:43:00 Its not your computer, FF or adblock. Have a read of the following earlier post -- Sound familiar ? pressf1.pcworld.co.nz wainuitech (129)
1391852 2015-01-10 21:32:00 Interesting.

So what is causing the problem?

1391853 2015-01-10 22:03:00 Wish I knew :mad:

One minute everything is OK, next its playing up . If it were on every PC here then I'd say its a hardware (router or modem) problem, BUT its random on different computers at different times . Other people on different ISP's are also having the problems :confused:

Maybe we are all being spied on at different times -- Shouldn't joke about that, may be some truth to it ;)

Thanks for the info.

It is good to know that is is not me or my PC that is at fault :)

1391855 2015-01-11 00:19:00 I found addblock plus started interfering with things - not displaying parts of a page etc...

I'd used it for a long time (years) - but then moved to Ghostery (I use FF)

I have found Ghostery to be very good

If you instal it, make sure to go thru the config and block everything....
