Mine completely locks up daily. I don't know what it is, maybe the ads, the non stop buffering video ado also? 
Absolutely annoying to the point of having to restart when looking on the matchup page. 
Maybe just me.

My first drunken guess is PC. If you're not already on Chrome, switch to that, then download this...https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en

Totally not you Search......the Covers site runs like garbage. Every year I buy a brand new Dell laptop for business and mine does the same s h I t while being on this site.

Yes it used to always be very slow on my computer and freeze up every 30 seconds or so.

Now I use Brave browser, which automatically blocks most ads and trackers. Covers and a lot of other websites work faster for me now.

Here is a link:

This adblocker extension for chrome is a must! My PC stayed locked up while on covers until I added this extension.
