Using Tinypic on my laptop with newer Firefox version takes forever to
load. It's major bloatware.

Tinypic seems to be one of the few sites these days that as they
upgrade, they also retained backward compatability. I still use ancient
Netscape 4.7 for newsgroups only. Why? Because it still works perfectly.

When I click on a Tinypic in this 4.7 browser, I don't get all the extra
crap that newer browsers have. All I see on my screen is the picture
only. Nothing else. I don't even see tags. It's plain, simple, and it
loads quickly and each time.

Postimage.org works good too but I have to use an upgraded browser for
that. It's not just a pic, they had to add the stupid 'enlarge slightly'
feature - bloatware.
