jerky web pages.

I like to read The Daily mail online in a morning but my enjoyment is spoiled by the pages jerking & sometimes it won't stop when I'm scrolling.

I've tried it using IE & chrome and it's the same on both.

What could the cause be please?

Re: jerky web pages.

It's the calls to numerous ad servers being made by the DM site. You could try using an Ad blocker such as Ublock Origin.

Re: jerky web pages.

It is the Daily Mail which is at fault. I have stopped visiting the site tbh, it's far too annoying. I rarely click on DM links posted on here any more, I just search the story elsewhere.

There is that stupid video in the bottom corner which they insist you have to watch whether you want to or not, it just keeps coming back. Then there are the 45 photos of Markle's dress to contend with.

Re: jerky web pages.

I use Ublock Origin and NoScript to stop adverts and annoying javascript based animations. No problem reading the DM except for the content.

I no longer get the Ads but I still get the jerks.
