Some domains like soundcloud.com loads content from pixel.quantserve.com, this is always slow but very much slow using Pale Moon, sometimes it even crashes. Anyone else noticed the same? Thanks

Quantserve is an adserver and the subdomain you mentioned just serves tracking pixels. Just using an adblocker will remove all the crap like this and drastically improve performance.

Thanks for the advice, I do have uBlock but I saw just now that it was disabled (possibly I disabled for a domain and forgot to set it back).
