IMDB overloaded

I've been having this problem for a month now. Every time I go to IMDB, it occasionally overloads me. That is, some titles won't load, leaving some blank and some blurry. Does anyone else have the same problem? Or is it just me?
I hope not.

I think they either moved to cloudflare or updated their protection. My tool that scrapes data from IMDB stopped working recently due to cloudflare.
Maybe ensure your browser is up to date?

I usually use Chrome, I tried other times with other browsers Microsoft Edge and CCleaner Browser, but both give me the same thing in overload.

Did you try Firefox? I have not seen this problem and that is what I have been using. (With uBlock Origin adblocker.)

I'm on Floorp (based on Firefox) and IMDB doesn't give me any problems.

Nope, works fine for me
Out of curiosity, what happens if you browse IMDb with a vpn, do you still have the same issue?

I installed Firefox and tried going to IMDB, and it seems to load perfectly, thank you very much. From now on, I'll only use Firefox for IMDB.

Weird because when using IMDb, I don't use any other browsers other than chrome and it works perfectly fine for me

CHROME SUCKS!!!!
Sorry about that, I felt the need to express my feelings.

I should open a thread on a Chrome vs Firefox vote count since both are the best browsers of all time.
