Issues with the RealGM Site

I encounter so-much bloat and viruses on this site that I now have to use my phone web browser (Fire Fox), to participate here, anyone else experiencing this? Thx
Mods - I hope you give this a little run before moving to Random Thoughts.

I have trouble often. Freezing or suddenly going to a totally unwanted page.

It works fine on my computer with the Firefox browser. It barely runs on the Brave browser though. It locks up when I try and compose a post.

adblock plus. The site is unbearable with using it.

I had to laugh when some mod tried to shame me for using adblock on realgm. He said that as a user of the site I should allow ads. Yea right pal.

Weird - I was having troubles over the last month or two (long running scripts) but it seems to have gone away today...

I'm using Firefox

page hijacking would be a good way to describe the most annoying thing

I can’t use this site at all on Safari

Privacy badger, adblock, make sure to get one those blockers, javascript popup ads and banners are evil.

Using chrome with privacy badger, no issues here.

Tried to respond this morning on Safari. Ads popped up and blocked my post and it all crapped out. Plus those mysterious redirections. The Russians, I tell you, the Russians.

I appreciate the suggestions. It's been getting slower and more difficult with Safari and Firefox.

For this & most sites I find Chrome to be the best browser. I concur w/ the recommendation of Privacy Badger & Adblock Plus.
