internet explorer 11

Heya
Is it just me or Windows central website likes to crash frequently on my HP Envy running 8.1?
Everything is up to date, when I try to load this website I get 2 errors on a regular basis.
1. not responding due to a long running script ( button says stop script)
2 Not responding ( button says recover web page).

these 2 just ruin my browsing experience. Is there something I can do to fix it. I like IE better than other browsers, so hopefully one of the suggestions is not to switch

Cheers
S
 
Re: internet explorer 11

Switch if you have to but try to clear the browser cache and do a browser reset. Don't forget that after the reset you go into "manage add-ons" and re-enable them.
 
Not just frequently, constantly. Switch to Google Chrome for a better experience. And disable Internet Explorer altogether

Better as in more lag and crashes? Because that's what I get.


To the OP: Have you tried TPL? Those long running scripts might be adverts.
 
Interestingly, it seems to vary.

I have an old laptop with 8.1, and IE on that is very finicky, I often fall back on Firefox.
On the Surface Pro however, IE flies and I never think about Firefox or Chrome.
Weird.

Admittedly though, the laptop developed some issues however, which I'll eventually have to tackle.
