Re: Why are ad networks so slow with IPv6?

Is your experience the same if you run a browser-based ad blocker or
something external like Pi-hole?  I have Fios, but Verizon hasn't rolled v6
out here that I can see.  My v6 traffic runs over a tunnel to Hurricane
Electric, and I haven't noticed any unusually slow load times for the ads
that make it through Pi-hole/uBlock/etc.

Thank you

Verizon FIOS has been rolling out IPv6 across Northern Virginia. Hurrah!

Stuff with ads (which is almost everything on the modern Internet) now
load much more slowly or timeout.


Changed IPv4/IPv6 connection preferences to use IPv4 first. Much improved
user experience.
