Snooping Sites Suck -- Stop Stop Stop

One of my computers hangs all the time trying to load pages. Another on the same network is fine.

It looks like it is crap sites like b.scorecardresearch.com, which is a site that tracks web usage.

The behavior started maybe a week ago.

Kinda old - but I just noticed this. If you use Firefox - check out NoScript. It is a small bother when I go to a new site to allow stuff to make it work - but it stops a lot of the tracking and advert crap. It is a bit more problematic trying to get the Eurovision streams to work with it - but I manage without too much hassle.

Google Chrome has a similar utility somebody made - I forget what it is
called.

I highly recommend either/both.

I only use MS Explorer once every two years - so don't know there.
