“The San Francisco Chronicle's website is fun and pretty...”

Ed L.
5/1/07

The San Francisco Chronicle's website is fun and pretty good - Sometimes you want the SF spin on the day's news, or you just want to know what's happening in the City by the Bay. SFGate is the San Francisco Chronicle's website, chock full of irreverent headlines, weird news, and plenty of Bush-bashing.

“Needs an Overhaul”

It's very difficult to read patiently. Loaded with too much stuff (mostly garbage). Header is heavily weighted by add. The video is annoying and all attempts to squelch it fail. Can't you guys do better?

Hit their "free" recommendation for a service, immediately asked for $5.99 for one time use.
They advertise free sites and first one on list charges. AS TRUMP WOULD SAY FAKE,,,,
I don't want to give 1 star but zero not an option

Tip for consumers:

Nothing but lies to promote more lies

An assortment of never-ending popup ads, autoplay videos and now ads inserted between every 4 sentences in an article. Oh, and user comments have been eliminated. Hard to imagine why anyone would ever subject themselves to this horrendous website.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t

Not matter what page you're on, there's a video running. You can close it, but when you click to a new page, it comes back. If you click back to the page you were on and closed it, it's on again. It's annoying enough to avoid the site entirely.

I have an I******* with a GEforce 1060 graphics card Dell Inspiration and SFGate.com freezes trying to load. They have either malicious coding or it's a third party ad that fails to allow loading the site. I think the only way it works is to use their "app" which I am learning that's what majority of people do now. I didn't know what "app" meant as I use PROGRAMS which are much more full. I am not a phone only idiot that thinks I'm cool because I can do a few things with an app.

On a PC an APP will be a thing like your clock or Minesweeper or calculator little lines of programming that have a lot of repetition coding to make it easier to copy for new developers. Not much in the way of unique coding for whatever app you use on your phone which is why so many developers go that route as it's the easy way out and usually a quick way to make a buck.
