Ads aren't usually the choice of the page authorsdragonbait1February 23 2010, 18:02:39 UTC
Ads are written and managed by the ad company, the web page hotlinks into them. You sell the space and location to the ad company and they put whatever they want there. Unless you are Penny Arcade (or otherwise awesomely rich) you don't have a choice on what ads are put there.
The errors on the page may also be related to the botscripting that websites use, those thousands of articles aren't written by a person, its a program writing a program that displays the page as the template that the story goes into. Since the errors are non-fatal (and never reported) the main program (that writes the little programs) never gets updated, its an unnecessary cost.
Ads that cost more pay less, cheap ads have a higher profit percentage. chap ads that lead to porn and scams make a site the most money. the internet resists a subscription model, so unless a company decides that they are going to subsidize the entire site as advertising you are going to have ads. Its a fact, you can't stop it.
IE is the standard, Firefox, chrome, safari, opera etc all follow the standards and GOOD webdesign is to build a page that works for everyone.. That said its not about being perfect, media is a business where you must "get there first-est with the most-est" and web design has gotten incredibly more complicated with PHP, CSS, Flash and all these other bandwidth-eating auto-programming languages fighting it out. POOR webdesign incorporates all of these elements, GOOD webdesign chooses a language and uses to consistently. If designers were more concerned with CONTENT and not looking cool (I don't consider moving links/backgrounds/images etc "good") You wouldn't have these problems.
The blank page problem went away for me when I reset my router... Maybe its not your browser. The hang when saving files sounds like a buffer or packet issue. "Click, DL, back, click, DL, back" Browsers want to refresh the page and check for updates, but you KNOW where the link is going to be so you give the browser another instruction when it's still checking and refreshing the page. SLOW DOWN, the internet will still be there in 5 seconds... I promise.
