I've been wondering for a while about this problem. I used to use Firefox as my full-time browser but ever since the upgrade to Firefox 3 I've noticed that many pages are loading ever so slowly. Excruciatingly slooooowww... Even IE8 loads them faster. Rightly or wrongly, this drove me to check out Google Chrome and it surprisingly loads them pages in no time at all! There's a lot to like with Google Chrome, but the one thing that is most obvious is how fast the browser itself loads. With the slew of updates and plugins that are becoming available it was an easy decision.

Then I started becoming really curious as I noticed that the slow loading time also affects this website. A few minutes of searching plus a second to disable the module in my blog later, I found the answer.

It's Google Adsense! Google Adsense caused my site (and others that have it on) to load very, very slowly especially on Firefox. WTH?

So yeah, no more Google Adsense on this site. Only Nuffnang Ads. But I still like Google Chrome though
