"Treating commenting systems like a commodity scream "I'm an average website", or "I'm not a technology site"." Load up TechCrunch's homepage with Firebug open and behold the horrors it holds. It is, by far, the most cringe-inducing contemporary site, and it's the single worst example to demonstrate Firefox being brought to a crawl (Chrome deals with its freak show more elegantly). They may cover technology, but their site shows little technical competence. To be fair, a good percentage of the issue is the viral spread of page contaminating twitter and facebook junk.
