As soon as I can tell it’s one of these data-hungry “NEWS” websites I just close it. I have really a good connection too. Don’t they realize they’re losing views by being such shitty websites?

Hi!
There are lots of ways to “fix this”
* Ad Blocker
* Turn off java script
* Use a blocklist in your host file
* Use a browser like Firefox (as opposed to Chrome or Edge)
* Use containers so websites can’t see what other tabs you have open.
The ad blocker and host file will take calls to known add sites and data harvesting sites and simply bypass them.
Blocking Java Script (through my ad blocker) lets me choose trusted sites for allowing JS, but by default stops new sites from running script (programs) that are probably more for their benefit than mine.
Firefox tends to harvest and sell less data about me.
Containers tell the web site it is the only tab open.
I use [U Block Origin](https://ublockorigin.com/) as my primary ad blocker. It very much speeds up browsing in my setup.
