Never go to Boston.com

I run two google chrome extensions at all times and it helps me not get into a lot of trouble on the interwebs.

disconnect and ghostery help me determine what is a safe place and what is not a safe place to go.

i have found the worlds worst place to go on the interwebs. it's worse than most porn sites.

boston.com

evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil evil

most of the time ghostery will tell me about one to twelve.

here is a pic from msn.com and yahoo.com, two very well known sites.





look at the bottom right.  each of them have what, seven trackers? it's hard to get away from. even the blog i am using now, blogger, is tracking one from google analytics.

but let's look at boston .com


DO YOU SEE THIS MADNESS?

i am amazed. perplexed. it actually took six minutes for all of the trackers to load. i just kept hitting the prtscn button because the list kept getting larger.

six minutes!

do you know how LONG that is in internet time?

that's like a year regular time.

and look at this list of crap. who is ADTECH and Dataxu? and gumgum is nothing more than just ads.

for all intents and purposes, boston.com is run by the devil. if she were a marketing executive.
