Two easy ways to improve user experience.
As a user: Use noscript
As a designer: Keep your content above the fold, and your logos not gigantic. There's no reason I should look down 480~ pixels just to see the first line of the content.
- Neputys 16y agoHave you heard the "make my logo bigger pills" joke about marketers?

- redthrowaway 16y agoNoScript is terrible for UX. Every time I wanted to watch a video, or see a slideshow, etc, I had to right click, temporarily allow scripts (or whitelist domain)... It just made browsing tedious. I find AdBlock to be more than adequate, for most sites. The Chrome version isn't quite as good as the FF version, but it should improve.
- rkudeshi 16y agoIf you enable the option to always temporarily whitelist the domain you are currently on, it gets a lot better. That way, when you are on example.com, it will still load any scripts hosted on example.com, but not Facebook/Twitter/ad/other widgets.
- redthrowaway 16y agoIs this a new feature? I don't remember having that option when I played with it 2-3 years ago.
- alexqgb 16y ago+1 for pointing out the inverse relationship between logo size and usability.
- goldins 16y agoI don't think the whole "above the fold" mentality is as relevant now as it was a few years ago. Monitors are bigger, and people are used to scrolling up and down a page. Sure, there should be something above the fold to entice the user to scroll, but to keep your content above the fold is just asking for a cluttered design. You're scrolling now, aren't you? :-) See http://iampaddy.com/lifebelow600/ http://iampaddy.com/lifebelow600/
