What's your biggest complaint as a surfer?

KevinG · 01-28-2008

The thing I can't stand the most is a web page that takes more than 3 seconds to load with a broadband cable connection.

I don't care if I am researching a very important topic and think I found the link to what I need.

If I don't see something, anything, at least the header of the page within 3 seconds, I hit the back button and go elsewhere.

Same here, slow loads are 10 second count downs, then click red box.
And links that go to nothing at all to my search related topic. those piss me off also

I thought those were actually mandatory.

JoesHO · 01-28-2008

I wish there was a way to have real cyber sex with the people I am watching on my screen.

hmmmmm

RawAlex · 01-28-2008

Impossibly complex pages with tons and tons of links, all of which turn out to be PPC or redirects to something unrelated to the site.

Pages that require plugins or software updates. let someone else be on the bleeding edge.

A page full of google adsense blocks and content mostly unrelated to my search that got me there.

Pages on sites that claim to offer free information / content / material / whatever where 100% of the links go to a signup page.

Sites that show me a page, let me select something, and then at the end go "oh, you aren't in the US, we can't show you this". if you have geo enough to know where I am, use it earlier in the process morons!

The fact I have to use spyware detection and removal software.

I agree, I guess that goes hand in hand with mine; Pop Up Hell

EmporerEJ · 01-28-2008

It's them damn cigar ads slowing down the internet.....

Seriously though....
I would like to know what all the bullshit is running around in the background on a webpage, slowing my load times down, and generally pissing me off.

(Plus the daily calls from my parents expecting me to answer for every internet goofy thing out there....as if I'm responsible, or have the answer.)

Pop up hell doesn't really annoy me unles it forces me to shut down my computer or soemthing liek that. I used to habitually use 3-4 exit pops minimum and occassionaly use like a 7 or 8 chain of exit consoles back in the day. LOL So I really can't complain about it now.

TheEnforcer · 01-28-2008

Is it a coincidence I got a very long console chain just a second ago. LOL

AHHH HAAA . . . . so it was you!

I also hate it when someone gets a front page on Digg and then doesn't have the server hardware to handle it.

AVN....are you listening....agreed

seochick · 02-09-2008

my internet connection sucks at times! Sometimes, its too slow and even worst, sometimes, connection is lost

pam · 02-09-2008

Sites that are nothing but Flash and don't have an html tour as an option.

Sites that claim to have content and then are nothing but a link farm.

I am in the monority with this, but there is a percentage of us that has trouble with movement - ads, smileys, flashing text, etc. I have enough trouble watching the news on TV where there is a constant background movement. But when I am trying to read something on a site, movement can be a deal breaker.
