The holidays are prime Internet usage time for most of us: buying gifts, booking travel, emailing about holiday plans. [more]

4 cookies were blocked when i went there (All 3rd party)

I saw someone say there are 7 trackers on the site! (They were all blocked by thier ghostery program (I wonder if those trackers ONLY CAN WORK if you have scripts enabled (I assume most rely on scripts)))

"Ghostery" blocked 9 trackers from that link!

Thanks for that ghostery link. It made a few sites usable for me that I had given up on because their scripts would hang my browser. Here are the firefox addons I use that I find invaluable for browsing:
Adblock Plus
Flashblock
NoRedirect
NoScript
Proxy Tool
Web Developer

Well if you can,have scripts disabled if much better!!! (Faster loading of sites,etc)

If it wasnt for a few email sites i goto THAT REQUIRE THEM i would have them disabled 100% of the time..
