Thanks. And I have a feeling that it would be much worst (aka better) for a mail.google.com inbox page, even if you keep the useful Javascript. But their javascript is so obfuscated that it is not too easy to test. One time I extracted a simple feature for gmail's javascript... it was fun (probably would be easier for a programmer though)

A lot of people are in Florida, so you end up with more headlines then from smaller states...

How fast could google.com be if they trimmed the JS fat?

This is false for comments... it is true for posts however.

Also, reddit once said that they only keep the latest version of a comment in their database (not sure if it is still true though).... so if you want to really delete a comment from reddit, you have to edit it to some random text and then delete it.

2 different categories, that's all... they both could not compete with each other (more then likely).

Maybe the browser should not have access to your real IP when you are using a VPN? so it's the OS's fault?

alternatively, you can block Facebook's tracking (poisoning data might be somewhat easy to spot automatically)
