uMatrix prevents it from loading. Against my better judgement, I turned off uMatrix and loaded the page. Then had a look at uMatrix. Wow, I think we have a winner for a site with the most scripts, most 3rd party domains, and the sheer numb

The 8086 introduced the abomination of segment registers. That created many software limitations for much of the 80's. Compilers with 64 K limits on array sizes, or code segment sizes, and similar. By comparison the 680x0 on classic Ma
