I run this: http://www.fbpurity.com/

Not sure if it will help your problem, but you can surely clean up FB and hide a lot of the crap they put on there that is so annoying. You can also force it to keep the setting on ‘most recent’ activity so it doesn’t switch back to ‘top stories’ or whatever the default is.

I do run Ad Block - also run NoScript ( https://noscript.net/ ) which is a little more complicated but gets high marks. Between the two, I can now go to Hot Air without it freezing my computer.

Nice but doesn’t support Windows.

Absolutely! I consider NoScript an absolute necessity. I find that most "modern" web sites are almost 100% unnecessary crap and are nearly unusable without ad and script blocking.

Roger that. Hot Air is even worse than The Blaze when it comes to intrusive scripts and tracking cookies. I added Ghostery which shows you all the tracking cookies a site is trying to add to your computer. Hot Air adds 3 to 4 more than any other web site I visit. I love the content but I'm beginning to think the price is just too high.
