Slightly off topic, but I'm reading this on Brave for Android with an ad blocker. The site manages to show an ad. No big deal. The site also hijacks my back button. When I try to come back here, it says please don't go, read some more stuff.

Perhaps someone should teach that web developer how websites and browsers are supposed to work.

Good thing Brave allows me to block JavaScript, and a little ironic given that Brave was founded by Brendan Eich, creator of JavaScript. Genie, back in bottle.

I'll just add Slate to the list of sites I don't visit. Surfing on my PC has become obnoxious due the JS (ads?) spinning up my CPU fan to 100%.

I used Bromite (another fork of Chrome mobile) and had non of the issues you mentioned.

Interesting. I can't always repro. Maybe it depends on the ad.

Is Bromite available on Google Play?
