No matter which browser I use, DS crashes Android.
Is it just me?

Works ko for me.

Nexus 7, Android 5.0.2

Chrome.

Is it some crappy advert(s) causing this?
I don't have any issues.

yeah. Seems to be when there lots of vid adverts.

DS is so slow on both our Android tablets. It's there a way to force the mobile site to load?

Found a browser that will display the mobile version of DS, Mercury. Allows you to change user agent without root. The mobile site is so much quicker.

Never had a problem on DS with my 2013 Nexus 7, either.

It works ok on my Android tablet (4.2) and phone (4.4), but I do access it through the mobile version of the site with Javascript turned off.

You shouldn't need to root, change User Agent or even find a different browser.

You can get to mobile version of these forums easily just by scrolling right down to last grey bar where it says '-- Digital Spy' - then just select Mobile Forums.

I was referring to the main DS site too. The desktop version is so ad heavy.
