Renderosity has probably the highest number of web trackers on it of all the sites that I browse. Every facebook, twitter etc icon you see is a small bit of javascript that connects back to the source server which slows down your page load times, not to mention the privacy issues relating to your browsing history as well. I use a browser extension called Disconnect which stops these scripts from running. Disconnect reports back that my page load times here at Renderosity are around 36% faster which translates out to around 8 seconds. There is a lot more going on here than just this but it does help in my case.

I run adblock plus/Ad Guard/Ghostery( Ghostery does the same thing as Disconnect) and it's still like walking through Mud, these Browser extensions are great and work well but they also add Time when doing their job albeit not nearly as much as allowing all the Adds and Trackers running around on Rendo. I've run those extensions for years and Rendo had maybe 2-3 Trackers getting quarantined all the time but since the Devolution[sic] there are like you say, every Web Tracker known to man infesting Rendo. That's what you get when you go the Social Media Route, this used to be an Art Site now it's just a Facebook wannabe "Facebook Southeast" Facebook Tennessee "Ya'll come back now...hear"....not very often until it speeds up around here and Ya'll start caring about Art again and not just Market-share

Remember...No matter where you go there you are
