So far this hasn't affected Mudcat, but in recent weeks I have been seeing a new phenomenon on many sites that host Google ads. I have an ad blocker in place. The result is that the site doesn't display at all - until I hit the back button, maybe more than once. This is an example:

http://newsdaily.com/2015/10/two-missing-as-floodwaters-persist-in-south-carolina/

While the page is blank, the status line says the browser is waiting for a Google ad host.

Any easier fixes than back-button-punching?

Meanwhile Mudcat has developed a problem where the link maker page doesn't appear until you hit the link to it twice. The first page you get just stays blank, the second one works as normal.
