I recently started seeing the same thing with Firefox. After some experimentation I found that the problem seems to be https://jnn-pa.googleapis.com. I understand that companies need revenue from somewhere and since most users won't pay advertising is it. But their methods are ludicrously inefficient and insecure. At least with Youtube it's all coming from Google so you know that it only does what Google wants it to do. Other sites often want to pull in JS from a dozen or more sites no one has ever heard of, most of it just because it makes it easier for the web designers to animate their dancing doggies. -- John Hasler j...@sugarbit.com Elmwood, WI USA
