Kindle uses a browser called "Silk". I believe it is proprietary to Amazon.

The pages constantly lock up I have to go pack to the previous page then switch back to the page I want to read. Could be my computer is old.. Maybe this willhelp. Do you ever clear the cookies out of your computer? I find that this helps me the most when things start slowing down. First sign of anything I think is not right, clearing out cookies is the first thing that I do. Works for me. miles See this from above: I may have to try adblocker.. I am not plagued by ads, but the letters are slow to appear as I type. The pages constantly lock up I have to go pack to the previous page then switch back to the page I want to read. Could be my computer is old.. Maybe this willhelp. Try ccleaner. Safe, free, effective.
Clears cookies, registers, caches, etc.

Maybe naive, but would this even be a problem, if this site didn't allow pop-up advertising? The campfire has no control over their own site?

Just came across this thread. I 've been having same issues as some have noted. Only here. Added "Adblockplus" maybe 2 minutes ago, now this site is clean and fast. It works.
Thanks guys.

Thanks so much for posting this. I had an add-blocker on my computer at one time but when the computer had a problem and had to be reprogrammed it was left off for some reason.
It was to the point I hated coming here the computer would run so slow...this site, the S&W Forums and FoxNews were the worst...now all the crap has disappeared...
Told Mackay Sagebrush and he said the same thing...he hardly came here any more because of the adds slowing his machine to a crawl...
Everyone should download this...

Spyware filter Version 1.0.7.45.
EasyList Version 1.0.61.90.
Blocking 33 ads on this page. and over 35,000 this week.

This site has a long history of problems which seem to be mainly from the huge number of ads running. None of the other sites I visit require any "add-ons" to make them work, and lots of other sites have no ads at all.

My iPhone gets redirected catastrophically from time to time here. Pretty much kills the window that it happens in.
It's amazing that the forum has thrived (I presume) in SPITE OF the fact that it's by far the single worst internet "site" I've ever experienced in terms of this kind of crap. Well, except for that one with the nekkid ladies I accidentally stumbled onto accidentally just that one time by accident.

Of the several guns and huntings forums I visit regularly this is probably the one I find the most informative BUT definitely the one with the most technical issue. It's very frustrating.

If anyone complaining about this site has not put Adbock on their computer what are you waiting for...it cured all the problem for me not just here but several other sites that are full of adds. The S&W Forums were also slowing my computer down as well as FOXNEWS...now everything is faster than ever before and all I have is a 7 year old laptop....

The ads are thick here at the fire but I don't think pop ups are from this site, that's what Rick has said in the past.
Installing Adblock is the first requirement but I would also recommend installing Malwarebytes (for a windows system). The free version is ok. Let it update and do a full scan. It will most likely find some malware on your system. Pop ups should be gone. You'll need to run a scan manually once in a while with the free version.

We all know advertising works, we just don’t think it works on US!
