  1. Re:Not just millennials on Streaming TV Sites Now Have More Subscribers Than Cable TV (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    My wife & I are >60 and watch Netflix and Amazon exclusively. Neither of us can bear watching any TV program with commercials.

    This is why I dropped cable/dish. I briefly tried DirecTV Now but saw they had commercials and canceled after the first month. Commercials are definitely part of the problem.

  2. Awesome! on Chrome Now Reloads Pages 28% Faster (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Great now I get to the 6 minute long "Waiting for cache" message 28% faster!

  3. Took me 3 minutes to load this page... on Slashdot Asks: Why Are Browsers So Slow? (ilyabirman.net) · · Score: 1

    Why? Chrome was waiting for cache... This issue has been around for forever and has never been fixed. Before you comment, I completely wiped my computer 2 weeks ago and have minimal apps installed. Chrome is running on an SSD drive and my computer is only a couple of years old. So why in the blazes would it take 3 minutes for chrome to wait for it's cache? I agree with the rest of the sentiments though.. Too many ads, too many scripts, too many videos on sites these days.. Now I have to have an ad blocker and and anti-adblocker blocker to add to the overhead.
