You might be .. most of us are on Firefox 33.0.3. 8>. I don't like FF as it's become way too heavy and cluttered. Every time I open it, it does a huge update, and then it breaks several of my plugins. All the sites I need, including all the P2P sites, work fine with IE11, and it's faster than Chrome now. I won't use Chrome because it's basically spyware. IE11 allows me to use third-party tracking protection built right into the browser and gets rid of all the google tracking as well as the stupid advertising for hotels in places I visited last year and that I don't intend to go back to, or for an item I bought already six months ago... This doesn't sound like the Chrome that I use. I use AdBlock which may be more use than I thought.

Adblock good, but again you can't get the functionality under android unless you root your device. 8<. Much as I gripe about windoze (or x-nix) you still have some degree of control over your own 'personal' computer.

An interesting detailed repayments analysis facility has appeared at the bottom of the Money on Loan page IF YOU SCROLL DOWN(click "Your portfolio"). Mind you, the "view now" box stuck near the edge of the big purple blob looks really naff!! Put in the middle of the blob!
Ah! That's better

Kev - I should be grateful to have your personal view (and RateSetter management’s view as well though I’m afraid it might not be as valued as yours (flattery, ahem)) on the list that I get when I choose Full Market View. Alternate lines are displayed in grey type on a light grey background, yes, grey on light grey. Leaving aside how this shreds the W3C standards on accessibility, what do you think of the poor contrast this gives and the effect on readability? I have worked with marketing folks and know how they live in the clouds, how they work with enormous, expensive, high resolution screens and how they appear insensitive when a user points out such horrors. But what do you really think about grey on light grey, please?

But what do you really think about grey on light grey, please? I've had a look, and attach a screenshot of the piece you mean to confirm we are not talking about anything else. My honest answer is that although there are things about the new web site I personally am not a huge fan of (the scrolling, the menu from "hamburger", some colours, the way it takes over my phone as an "app"), this doesn't invoke any feelings. On my phone, iPad, home laptop, work desktop, projected onto a wall - it all looks fine. I think it is clear, concise and really isn't something I can get worked up about or prioritise above other changes. It's a cosmetic thing, and I'm not aware of people with visual problems being impacted. Kevin.

I see minor tweaks on RS's website. The 'afterthought' logout has now moved to somewhere sensible.
It's still purple and wallowing in white space, and the all-important 'current rates' boxes remain visible only after a scroll.
Ratesetter's management and designers clearly still consider they know better than all the previous posters on this thread
