Tech: How To Make si.com Pages Load Faster Under Firefox
Finally, I wanted to pass along a little hint that seems to make SI pages load a lot faster. For those of you running Firefox and Adblock Plus, make sure to block the URLhttp://i.a.cnn.net/si/.element/ssi/js/2.0/main.jsThis contains a lot of needless navigation Javascript, not to mention popup control code (boo, hiss), and also has some load/unload code that I suspect is bogging down pages on entry and exit. At least, that seems to be the case under Firefox; Jon, who is using IE, reports no problems. Use the sidebar (ctrl-shift-B) to find the URL, or (easier) pop the URL above into the Adblock Plus prefs window (Tools -> Adblock Plus...) and then hit the Add Filter button, paste the URL, and hit OK.
