User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki Modernization: New Ad Layout is Now Live/@comment-28083312-20171005224827

So I turned off adblock to see just how much things have improved, &… …this is a start. If that high-impact ad & one of the right rail ads was it, I would regard it as excellent. As it stands, logging out & turning off my adblock tripled page load time, broke our JavaScript elements, & took up entirely too much space. The right rail is supposed to not be jam packed, but it is, & add to that the high impact ad at the top & the [ utterly titanic ] Fan Feed at the bottom, & it’s not looking good. It’s perhaps not as bad as it was, wherein I could barely load the page at all without adblock, but I sincerely hope that more changes are planned.
