So to make this a legitimate thread beyond my bitching, what browser do you use to browse the Escapist? Is it different than your normal browser? Anyone else experience a bit of unusual slowness compared to other sites?
I use(used, will explain later) Firefox and Escapist has always been a little bit slower for me compared to other sites, but in the last few days its gotten to the point where if I try to open an individual thread it's a 80% chance it'll half-load then get stuck and a 60% chance it'll half-load the forums itself. I was actually resorting to using the Steam in-game browser, which is kinda sad. I scraped my Firefox, installed from scratch, and still had the same problems. But then I remembered I had an install of Chrome on this computer that was collecting dust, so I started that up and so far it's been working buttery smooth. No clue what the issue is with my Firefox. Chrome is similar enough to Firefox that I might actually make it my new browser of choice, once I customize it to my liking.
