Serious question: my 2017 MacBook Air grinds to a halt on many web pages, especially ones with video animation, to the point where I can't type because it drops multiple characters. I have to use an ad blocker to make pages workable. Is this normal or is there something wrong with my machine?
- tokamak-teapot 4y agoOccasionally I will accidentally not have an ad blocker, and yes, the amount of CPU required by them can be enormous. People seem to just be used to them and claim that their computers are ‘getting slower’, but really they don’t use their computer for anything but web browsing and it’s only slower because ads are getting worse and worse.
