I don't have one on my MacBook but I have one on both iMacs . My R5 has never frozen.No banners on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro (and my R5 doesn't freeze).
Take a look at the cookies and cross site browser tracking it does.....It would be good to get some reaction from either Craig or the new owners as to what the status of the site is. Advertising is just one aspect of that. I'm getting a (relatively unobtrusive) small banner d at the bottom, but obviously others are getting more, and 'non-Pro' users seem to be getting much more.
I value the site (and that is why I was happy to pay what I saw as a relatively small $ amount for the Pro membership to help fund it), but it would be good to know what the current status is.
Well yes, Canonrumors gets an honourable (?) mention on the tracking list, although there are plenty of others. Safari does a reasonable job zapping trackers these days, but I'm never sure if they intercept anywhere near all of them.Take a look at the cookies and cross site browser tracking it does.....
As a Pro-user, I still see ads in my desktop Firefox browser (Except content of ads seems to be blocked by my Firefox´s Tracking Protection set to Strict mode). A banner at bottom of page and I guess some video to the right: just above banner

Today's update of FF claims to prevent all tracking!This is on my phone. And the image you see is decidedly served by the website. So if there is a "Firefox problem" then it's the website that has it. FF renders fine.
Edit:just tried FF on the PC. Views fine there. Boggles the mind. @AlanF - just FYI.
Canon Rumors switched Ad operations and we are waiting for the developers to update the code on the site to block the ads for you.
I hope that they can get this done this week.
We appologize for the inconvenience.
As far as I know Craig is still owner of the site, and he handles the site with help from a couple of assistants while a sale is being prepared and arranged(?).Just out of curiosity, which CR Guy did you write? The old CRGuy or the new ones?
... got the following answer today:
Thanks for sharing, guys.Further from Canon Rumors Guy:
