That website is 90% shady ads and 10% article. Even if this is an actual legit article, the way it’s presented here takes away any chance of me taking this seriously.

Recently, I started using Firefox plugin NoSript which stops javascript execution on random websites. It makes browsing little better. I started using it when I found out one tab was eating 2GB of RAM. I think in todays world its very important that you allow only selected trusted websites to run Javascript!

    Isn't that an engagement metric? Lots of people load articles and don't read them…
