    What's up with DoubleClick?

    Every time a website hangs for a bit before loading, it's usually 'cause we're waiting for DoubleClick.

    I'm liking Google less and less.

    I'm liking Adblock and NoScript more and more.

    I don't know what those are. I'll Google Adblock and NoScript...

    Oh my gosh, I can't believe I wrote that!

    After the recent use of DoubleClick (and others) to distribute malware, I'm glad to have blocked it years ago.

    As much as I didn't want to, I started blocking with AdBlockPlus quite awhile ago. The ad servers for this site are just too slow.

    I don't use NoScript, but AdBlock Plus is a life saver. I would not surf the net without it. I don't know if it's available on all browsers. I use Firefox.

    I don't know which ad server it connects me to but I'm getting Chinese adverts!

    DoubleClick = epitome of evil on the internets. But then they merged with do-no-evil Google.... From that moment, Google became another evil company.
