Ebay - Freezing Computer Browser ?

TheTwelveQuidKid · 17-09-09, 10:35 AM

Anyone else getting this today. Pages taking ages to load, using loads of memory, computer very unresponsive etc. Only happening with ebay site, everything else works ok.

Thanks for the replies. It's not just me then.

I wondered whether to email ebay and ask if it was because the donkey that turns the wheel that powers their generator had been ill or something.

It's the bloated Flash adverts that slow down your browser, the virgin media ad's especially, if you use Firefox then install the flashblock add on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433
