My D.U. pages now load in chunks, rather than completely and instantly

I have a fast connection.

Are big corporations already fucking with the internet?

There may be another explanation.

Can someone show me where I sign up as a contributing member?

This is a great community.

I have some Norton Identity Safe plugin that's always causing trouble, although it never affected this page before.

We're getting to the end of my technical knowledge, here.

Thanks for the insight.

here. MacBook Air, Firefox... I run DNT, Https Everywhere, and Disconnect. Also DuckDuckGo instead of google. My connection runs really fast now, add ons seem to help.

Some ads control page load if the ad has code that requires the ad to display first.

Best thing i ever did for browsing the web is install ad blocker to my Firefox browser.
