NoScript for Firefox allows selective blocking of scripts on a page. So for example, I currently have scripts from daz3d.com allowed so this site works as intended, but I've disallowed scripts for the Google and Facebook trackers. Also one from Bing, whatever it's trying to do.
There are probably similar utilities for other browsers.
Just face it. We are all being tracked. I get ads for Daz on several unrelated sites, I get pop ups from Google saying “How was your trip to Trader Joe’s?” And Facebook asked me how my visit with a certain doctor was going while I was at the doctor ‘s office. But it was the wrong doctor. I found out that doctor was one floor above. So now my doctor’s visit for a knee injury may have translated to a specialist in a whole other area and I could start getting ads for whatever that doctor’s specialty was... When I go to an office building with Starbucks inside, I get a pop up on my phone asking how my experience with Starbucks was, although I never went to Starbucks...Have you ever seen the movie “The Circle”? Life is turning very much into that...
I use both Privacy Badger and the AdBlock plus add-on that blocks the Like or Share buttons for all the social media sites as these also work as trackers.
FIshtails is right. It's just basically a tracking pixel so it can follow you around and serve you ads so you come back to Daz. There's also a link to Daz's FB at the bottom of every page. If there's issues in FB serving the pixel to the API or in recording it going back, it can slow things down once in a while. Not a hack :) Block it if you want...we're all here all the time anyway..no need herd the addicts..LOL.
Another reason for a slow down could be that it is waiting for the button image coming from Facebook. The way around that is for the DAZ webmaster to download it to the resource folder and load it from there so that the page doesn't need to wait on Facebook sending it. Paypal used to be really bad for that.
Firefox's plug-in validation process is borked, something about expired certificates. NoScript is one of the affected ones, and is unceremoniously disabled. Strange, though, it still works on one computer, but not the other. Anyway, they seem to be frantically working on a fix, and have workarounds in place for now.
In an unrelated problem, SandboxIE servers went down earlier this week, apparently due to some bug, but then the forum was shut down, and now they are saying that only the latest version will be supported, old versions are cut off.
Must be Mercury retrograde, or something... Actually, just checked, it was Mar 05 - Mar 28, if you believe that sort of thing.
I only see the Facebook icon etc on my iPad, Adblock keeps it off Chrome
Thank you, that's exactly what's needed anymore. Also, ty for everyone who's contributed to the discussion/details. :)
Google analytics is one of the worst scripts for that. kinda stuff too. It slows everything down. It's like they serve it from Mars.
As far as I can see these are the only scripts running on these pages.
