      I see this in Privacy Badger add-on.

      That's the CDN, fonts, in thread images. No idea what the last ones are.

        Then it's smart to block the shit out of those.

          So this stems from @JaredBusch topic on the Skytele billing.

          Is it sly, to host advertisements on your website, knowing full well that many people use ad blockers and things like PiHole to avoid having to see ads and that hosting these images directly would circumvent all of the website users systems?

          It's not typically the adds themselves, due to decent targeting.

          It's the obnoxious aspect most bring, which ideally doesn't happen from a simple image and link.

          But on ML specifically, they are annoying because I tend to accidentally click on them all the time and it posses me off each time.

            You don't want fonts, the images that are the topic of the threads, and the cache? What?

              @scottalanmiller the ones after that which you can't identify. Block those.

                Oh, yeah, I'm guessing that the one is something someone linked. I'm going to look for that.

                  Oh, Alamy is a stock image source. It's providing the picture of the gate in the field. NOT something you want blocked, it's a meme in this case.

                    But the internet would be better without memes
