Pages take forever to load
I have been experiencing a strange problem lately. Whenever I open a movie page on IMDb, it takes an extraordinarily long time to load. However, what's even more strange is that when I open the same page and let it load while I switch to another tab, it loads normally and quickly. So every time I open a movie page, I have to switch to another tab for a few seconds before returning to it. Why is this happening?

@Camita Please see https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/common-issues/why-is-imdb-displaying-differently-on-my-browser/GF2ZAR69V859XLHF and particularly note the point on disabling plug-ins such as ad blockers and page accelerators.

I have discovered that imdb's JS attempts to access https://169.254.169.254 from time to time, which is AWS's EC2 metadata service for the local EC2 instance. This is kind of alarming. I don't happen to be browsing imdb on an EC2 instance, so it doesn't affect me, but it certainly raises my eyebrows.
Can you confirm that this is nothing nefarious?
