interesting. I'm glad I don't visit their site. I put a few others in. ABC and ESPN got 5 stars. MSN got 1 star.

3. doing fine here - right back at ya, pal! TPM is an awful site for me- sometimes freezes my laptop

and hangs it up for several minutes.

For me, the worst sites are the sports sites - ESPN, NESN (for boston sports) - ads, videos, all sorts of pop ups - makes you not want to visit them.

4. pretty good here, thx. yes, ESPN is upsetting because of the things you mentioned but it's good to

know they aren't throwing a hundred cookies our way.

5. I know - just tested that. So no connection between cookies and website performance

from being too busy/complex!

9. welcome

it sure opened my eyes on a few sites like MSN, TPM, and CNN. I won't be visiting 1 star sites. Glad that MSNBC was 5 star.

10. So if DU shows no 3rd party cookies,

why is it only a 3 star site?

[Divine Discontent]

11. I wasn't the one that looked DU up, but that isn't what I see when I check it on cookiecert

I see one.
