Anyone else having this problem with Huffington Post

I log onto my desktop today for the first time in a while (normally use my laptop) and I've got ads galore all over the page including down both margins and my computer is running slow and I have a pop up about my computer's performance and it's taking forever to load article.

Well Duh!!!! With all those photos and ads, I'm not surprised. Is this just my computer or is anyone else experiencing ads 'ad nausea' to the point where it's affecting the computer's performance? So far hadn't seen it on any other sites visited before HP.

That's why I'm trying not to use it anymore. Too much ads and crap.

read HuffPost any more. Just can't take the deathly slow load and crawl to read anything.

And it keeps trying to refresh every few words I read. Too much trouble for mediocre writing, IMO.

I do not go there. I stopped going there a long time ago. I recommend that as a performance boost for your computer.
