There is a ton of good content in there and I didn't observe many of the problems that others complained about. Perhaps things have changed.
I did notice one glaring flaw though: The quizes all were broken.

Shame on the formerly-respectable Britannica for insulting users with obnoxious ads that pop up when you click on a highlighted word. I don't want to click on "clavichord" and get an ad for some trashy lawsuit-chasing legal firm. After 50 years of trusting Britannica since the days of print encyclopedias, I'm dumping this source.

One of the best online encyclopedias out there.

Online encyclopaedia Britannica. Great resource for students.

My experience with the sight is it really help with research and is reliable. I use it often in research papers. Though if you want lots of details it's not always the best place to go. Britannica online is a quick, easy way to research.

I think I've given up on Britannica. Is written in British English despite being headquartered in the United States.

Pop-ups that get past Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 8. (But not Firefox). Use the actual Britannica encyclopedia at your local library. Or Wikipedia. Or World Book Online. Or World Book. There are endless encyclopedias out there, both hard and soft.

extrem nützliche Seite wenns um infos geht

Britannica is not information, but an advertisement. The snippet that appears in searches should read: "To continue reading (more than 100 words), activate your no-risk Free Trial to Britannica Online."
Britannica shows up in searches with no indication that you can't read anything without paying or signing up to pay.
This is interesting. I went back to the site to check something, and suddenly am given access to the entire article. 3:40PM *****
