This is weird. In Chrome incognito, I get ~400 requests (without scrolling), and in Firefox private browsing, I get ~120 requests before scrolling, and ~190 after. What in the world? I disabled all the extensions in Firefox too.
- detaro 8y agoDoesn't Firefox private browsing has a tracking blocklist active by default?

- mehrdadn 8y agoWow, I didn't know that! I thought the tracking protection was just about the DNT header and I didn't expect that to make much difference here. However, even disabling that, I only get ~200 requests. There's still a lot missing... is it still blocking things under the hood?
- RugnirViking 8y agoIt may also be that different resources are loaded based on browser agent to track the user in different ways/display the page correctly on different browsers/polyfill javascript differences
- MR4D 8y agoI just re-ran it in Chrome ingongito mode to get the following: - 400 requests (adds about 1 per second after that) - 6.8 MB transferred - 6.1 seconds Then I ran it AGAIN, and got this: - 307 requests - 4.6 MB - 9.03 seconds You're right - it is WEIRD!
