Huh. Do you mind if I tell other people: Om said Om frequently see sites that are slowed down by Google ads â or more accurately all other branded ads â so what is your point.

I’ve also experienced this and have been wondering what the hell is going on with Digg for the past few days. Digg has been slowing to a crawl.

[...] 我并不是抵制免费服务放置广告，而是微软能不能考� ��在合适的位置放置广告呢？在顶部的广告就像过多� �工具栏一样，直接影响了页面的实际可视面积，广告在高度上占据了 90 px。并且 Long Zheng 曾发现 MSN 广告系统的广告有拖慢整体页面加载的迹象。 [...]

I wouldn’t object tooo much to ads1.msn if it was only the once but unfortunately it is every time you change a page in hotmail.
Rob How do you edit out the ads1.msn ???

@Rob “I eventually edited the hosts file on the PC to make ads1.msn.com point to 127.0.0.1″

How did you do that?

I have been experiencing this problem for weeks, and it really is frustrating. Ad Blocker Plus doesn’t make any difference, it still attempts to connect to ads1.msn.com.
This occurs on both the Mac and the PC at home. I eventually edited the hosts file on the PC to make ads1.msn.com point to 127.0.0.1, but the problem still exists on the Mac.

Not surprising, but I consistently see similar problems on google served-ads also. Unlike Sid, I don’t think that just because one doesn’t see the same problem, your theory is discredited. But I frequently see sites that are slowed down by Google ads — or more accurately, all other branded ads — so what is your point? The fact is, ads are annoying, but without those annoying ads, the web will probably be filled with subscription-based sites. There are always things in life that we don’t like, but we have to accept it as facts.
