I’m using a Mac with the current OS 10.12.1 Sierra and I have noticed recently that the default web browser, Apple’s Safari, freezes or hangs after being on RT for about 30 seconds. It won’t scroll, or display video properly. The browser itself in not hung or frozen: if you open another web page on any other website, even Sputnik, for instance, it works normally. Only the RT page is hung. None of the other web browsers I use, such as Firefox, Opera, or iCab hang on RT, so it isn’t my ISP or the NSA or whoever blocking RT, it is clearly Apple that are deliberately blocking this one website as part of the US Oligarchy’s campaign to block all alternate news with a significant readership.
Anyway, if you are using a Mac and finding the Safari web browser hangs on RT after a few minutes, just switch to using another browser like Firefox, Opera, or iCab. I don’t recommend using Chrome as it secretly turns on the computer’s microphone during installation and thereafter sends everything it can hear in the room back to Google, also known as the California branch of the NSA. Ostensibly it’s listening for you to say “OK,Google” to trigger a search query, but of course, it’s also listening to and analyzing everything else you say within earshot of a computer running Chrome. And of course, you agreed to that when you clicked “Agree” on the Terms during installation.
If you were fooled into downloading this Trojan Horse spyware onto your computer, you probably want to remove it ASAP. There are lots of legitimate web browsers.
brilliant…they’ve conveniently provided a list of sites worth visiting for alternative views..I’m amazed (perhaps not) at their stupidity
That is the first thing I thought. Second was saving the ZeroHedge page so I would have access to the list.
