Wondered if I was the only one who is never able to open the Daily mail web site.

I use a new PC with Firefox, the site just opens a few images and that’s about it. If I sat here for another 15 minutes more might load but it’s just not worth the time.

Frustrating though.

Ditch Firefox. It’s a bigoted SJW outfit, and the quality has slid into the toilet. Try “Brave.” It has much better pop-up and ad blocking built right in, and the guy Mozilla fired for daring to support traditional marriage works there now.

I don’t have trouble logging one, but sometimes I get so many popups there is only a couple of lines that I can see.

When WikiLeaks provided their document dump, I watched some you tube videos from links that were on various threads. During that time, I got two phone calls in a 2 week period.

The person said that they were getting a warning signal from my computer and that I needed to pull up my computer and follow their directions while they stayed on the phone to fix the problem.

I told them that my computer didn’t have any problems, and I thought that they needed to mind their own business and hung up. On the second call, I also added that they should not call again, or I would be reporting them to law enforcement.

While it’s a likely coincidence, it was a bit perturbing.

Get an ad blocker, that might help. I have ublock (not the one from the ublock site).

switch to Google Chrome. Works fine for me with fewer problems than Firefox.
