Title: Site statistics
Post by: Fury on August 16, 2014, 01:24:18 pm
Acquired from Google Analytics (since nobody uses AdBlock to block it, right?) and since I still appear to have access to Sandwich's Google Analytics of HLP.

Audience Overview (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxoEkz1PJqXXeTFtVTNNV21VWlU/edit)
Behavior Overview (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxoEkz1PJqXXaWptcG1GUXFmdkU/edit)

Too bad Analytics doesn't provide information about bandwidth use.

Bandwidth is at an average of 1.15Gb/day (less on Fridays and Saturdays, more on Sundays).

Ghostery is useless because adblockers have tracking filters and its simply waste to run both.

ghostery gets a bunch of widgets and other such annoying **** that adblock doesn't.  now if there was just something that would kill off the side-bar or over-the-screen type "LIKE US!!!  CREATE AN ACCOUNT!!!! SHAREEEEEEEEEE!" popups, that would be super.

I've seen an Adblock Plus list that was supposed to kill those. They don't bother me, though, so I don't use it.

Even more annoying is when they ask you to fill out a survey rating the effectiveness of their website when I've been on their website for all of 15 seconds. :rolleyes: I have noscript installed but globally disabled. Whenever I see some popup like that I just add the page to the blocked list. An adblock list like Dragon mentioned that can block those would be even better though since you don't even need to see the damn stuff the first time...

... I have noscript installed but globally disabled. Whenever I see some popup like that I just add the page to the blocked list. ...

That's probably way more efficient than what I am doing by having it globally enabled and on som sites going through 10 minutes of trial and error to see what exactly I need to activate until the content which I am actually wanting to work does comply with my wishes *laughs*
Then again, I don't get any popups and ads at all, which makes the whole internet usable in a way I deem it should be the absolute minimal standard.
