As much as I like searching the web for new authors and new fanfiction web
pages, I often avoid going to pages in Geocities.  Why?  Because my computer
is ancient, and the pop-up advertisements at geocities slow my processor
down signigicantly.  I don't have time to fight with a second browser window
opening when it already takes me three times as long as it should to get to
a good story.

Turn off Javascript when you go to Geocities.
