Just wanted to note that since a couple of days my preferred manner of browsing PF has gone the way of the dodo. I use Google Chrome on a Macintosh with a very slow (mobile dongle) connection. It looks to me the advertisements are stalling the connection up to the point that I can't browse anymore. I switched back to Safari and everything works fine.

Did anything change on the server side?

Nothing has changed. I agree some of the ads are slow. I have contacted the agencies about it. I use Chrome and PF is fast, but I also have a fast connection.
