Your browser can save a webpage as a single mhtml file. Why is this

ago, but it never seemed to happen.

Most lag nowadays is caused by web sites forwarding browsing info to
busy advert sites to collect browsing habits so that they can serve you
targetet ads.

But if you visit a page like Ebay with lots of pictures (say you're
looking through a list of things to buy in gallery mode), each image
is requested seperately. This must take time.

There is `Connection: Keep-Alive ` header for a reason... Besides that
browser caches pages, including images.

So my browser isn't getting one image, then asking for the next? It asks for many at once?

It asks many through one or more connections.

Then why does it take more than instantaneous to display an Ebay page
of 100 images, even though I have a 44Mbit connection?

Because they don't just display images, they probably redirects you to
advert sites you haven't blocked probably. Also depends if server is
loaded and their bandwith.

I don't see the adverts. I don't know if they're downloaded or not.
I guess they aren't, because some sites put up a pleading notice
saying I've blocked their ad.

Adverts are not problem but their data collection counterparts. They
hide by different domains so that adblock is not effective against
them...

Data collection doesn't bother me, why does it bother you?

It makes sites slow...

If an adblocker can spot ads, why can't it spot data collection? Or
think of it the other way, if data collection can get by adblockers,
why don't they do the same with the ads so we have to see them?


Because ad blocker reacts on patterns on urls. Sites that serve adds are well
known, and ads themselfes have recognizable patterns, but sites that collect data
are sometime unknown.


Why is it any harder for the adblocker software to know these?


They don't have recognizable patterns in urls. It's just a matter if
blablah.com is in block list or not.

Some of those are helpful to avoid you having to type in the same details over and over again.


That probably justifies most site loaded scripts. I rarely have to
type more than a few letters when I'm searching for items on the web
so I don't mind sites identifying me.

Please consult your local lawyers and military psychologist if not
psychiatrist.

Stay away from the Dark Side of magic and maho!

While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account of a ”god gene“ that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations’ Human Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality. Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in
terms of human development are unwaveringly religious.
