    so this website is complete dogshit and continually reloads the page for me on Firefox on android, having something of a small fit; and it seems to be paywalled anyways as a subscription nag did partially load at one point; but what I can see from the article is this hilarious subtitle/header:

    The stock market selloff this week has been painful for investors, but spare a thought for Elon Musk.


    Unless that thought is to laugh. And the investors can get bent, too.

      I’ve been annoyed by the same. Site is usually to blame.

      In case it helps, below are some workarounds I’ve used. If you try just one thing tho, TLDR: try loading in a private tab.

      1. Page repeatedly triggers memory preservation behavior of tab offload+reload. Solutions:
      • Force reset browser app
      • Clear site data and/or DNS cache
      • Open site in a private tab
      1. Ads were blocked and site’s ad framework employs anti-user strategy of synchronously wardriving ad servers until one is found that loads. Solutions:
      • Long term: more sophisticated adblocker (or await update which addresses tactic)
      • Short term: open the site in a private tab

      Doesn’t reload for me on Firefox on Android like you describe, but it is indeed paywalled and Elon et al can indeed get bent.
