I know I've been downvoted (a first for me on HN - I guess for being offtopic but maybe because many people feel that I'm wrong to be objecting to this) but I also got it wrong, more sites are needed once you do allow scribd.com. All the non-scribd sites above seem to be tracking or analytics.
Additionally required after www.scribd.com has been permitted (I haven't allowed any of the advertising/tracking/SEO sites to run scripts to see if they have further dependencies):
twitter.com
p.chango.com
quantserve.com
beacon.newrelic.com - (I don't object to this one.)
www.googletagservices.com
If people think I am wrong to be uncomfortable with this sort of behaviour by a site please reply and try to change my mind.
I just really don't like the idea that websites feel free to allow half the advertising companies on the internet to know what individual* people are browsing and looking at.
Maybe I'm just too Web 1.0 and old fashioned to expect sites not to send me round the internet when I land on the page.
*Scribd may not be tracking who people are but the advertisers might be.
