don't slow me down.

I tend to open a lot of tabs in firefox. When I have time, I go back and read the content. I'm getting so tired of having my browser slow down because so many blogs want to be slick like facebook. I really don't want to see your list of tweets update every 30 seconds; I really don't want to see lists of other "related content" scroll by as I read. I came to your blog to read what you wrote, I can click links if I want to read more, I can click links if I want to see your tweets. If your site slows down my browser, I'm less likely to come back. I don't think I'm alone. Stop blowing smoke up your own shorts, focus on your content.

I guess I should go back to using the noscript firefox add on. For now, I just add the annoying things to ad block plus's list of things to block. Today I added the following entries:

gadgetsforblogger.googlecode.com/files/*
*-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/*
www.google.com/friendconnect/script/friendconnect.js

I might just start a "what I'm blocking this week" slot in my daily posting routine.

chromium?

for what it's worth, i find chromium faster and better at memory management.
