network/DNS prefetch?
Quote:
I am not sure it is entirely due to the browsers. I normally use FF and do not save any history or cookies. I set Xombrero to not save the history but cookies have to be manually deleted. An eye opener for me was from my start page, the NYTimes + this site, I end up with more cookies than I can count. It appears that a particular pattern of cookies is often used to track users.

@ocicat. I am interested in more discussion on network prefetch/dns prefetch and different ways to deal with it so feel free to split this thread after your previous post.

By request, this thread has been separated from its parent:
http://daemonforums.org/showthread.p...4672#post54672 We find that most members on this site mine the archives for previous content. Given that members may be at all levels of technical understanding, & given that English is not many members' first language, we ask that members keep discussion linear -- following the direction of a thread's original post. This helps minimize confusion regardless of cause. |

The part that I find mind boggling is amount of cpu cycles devoted to tracking via cookie content. I had well over 200 cookies some of which looked redundent, "linkedin.com" vs ".linkedin.com", after visiting just two sites. None of the sites were "linkedin". The performance gap I was seeing between FF and Xombrero appears to have noticeably narrowed since disabling pre-fetching in FF.
I plan on keeping both, my biology background says that a diverse environment is good Last edited by shep; 4th May 2015 at 07:45 PM. Reason: punctuation |
