Front page & decks adserving requests failing overloading my processor/browser.

TappedOut forum

Just a note to the devs. Perhaps you are on it, but there seems to be tonnes of ad serving requests when I'm on the front page and deck pages.

NOTE: this happens in firefox and not chrome. So it's possible it's an extension I have enabled causing an issue, but I don't have many.

I've been finding lately if I have a few tappedout pages open, my processor starts going wild and my whole browser starts having issues.

So I did a little digging using firebug and the console is just going nuts with errors and failed requests. (reaches the firebug log max limit and keeps going)

It seems like mostly issues trying to connect to these servers.

  • advertising.com
  • vdopia.com
  • rubiconproject.com

thought I should mention it.

Yeah mine always has a huge ad pop-up for Call of Duty but I use Chrome on my computer, I just close the ad and everything's fine. Howver, When im on mobile I have to close the tab and start a new one until it doesn't happen because I cant click out of it on my phone.
