I am at the end of my tether with this bloody website, each page takes so long to load due to the adverts.
Now I appreciate you need revenue, but at what cost?, I rarely visit this site now because it is so slow. It is not my laptop as other sites are fine, is there a settings change I can try ?

I have the same problem. The banner at the top of the page (which has been a PH/Fiat tie-in for the past few days) takes up to ten seconds to load, and until it does, the page won't respond.

This is on Android. I have an ad blocker on my pc, so it's OK there.

I've not bothered complaining until now, because it makes no difference, and achieves nowt.

Then do the sensible thing and block them.

Does it reduce the revenue for the site? Yes.
Did they bring it upon themselves? Yes.

Add any/all of the above to your browser of choice and browsing becomes a pleasure, excluding the silly number of stickies on the first GG page but that's another issue....

ETA: was replying to the OP but regarding the second post and Android, Firefox allows the same add-ons as the desktop version.
