In summary, the person is experiencing issues with browsing the PF website using Google Chrome on a Mac with a slow connection due to the advertisements causing the connection to stall. They switched back to Safari and everything works fine. The server side has not changed, but the person has contacted the agencies about the slow ads. They also mention using Chrome with a fast connection and having no issues.

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.
