CPU load reading TWTD 12:32 - Nov 26 with 986 views | Cheltenham_Blue | Anyone else find TWTD, saps all the energy out of their laptop? My CPU load is at 48% on TWTD alone, I assume its the shear number of adverts that are .gif animations. | |

The way to stop it is to pay for the subscription and help their income. SB | |

Absolutely. But I’m sure they’ve found that people aren’t willing to pay for internet stuff 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸ An optional sub might work (a la The Guardian). I’d pay a few quid a month for TWTD. | | | |

Yes, TWTD is particularly bad; by far the worst site I visit for ads and 3rd party js (even worse than the Archant sites, and they’re awful). Safari and Firefox have some inbuilt stuff that let you deal with this in their settings. | | | |

I did suggest an App would be the best way forward, where the ads can be incorporated nicely for views, non intrusive and as you have seen, less CPU intensive but it was not something they were considering. | | | | Login to get fewer ads
