[browser generates lots of traffic] Well, browsers are designed to do that. Any javascript snippet served to you by e.g. www.heise.de or youtube.com may be phoning home anytime to "afford to you an awesome user experience". It might be pretty instructive to try to find out what *exactly* is going on (I sometimes do) -- but my "solution" is to disable javascript in my browser (these days, it takes some poking, but it's still possible). I have one browser profile with javascript enabled for the seldom cases I care enough about the functionality. Sad, but true. regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAldhED4ACgkQBcgs9XrR2kZyfgCfQkb/NNCaYO2U/cmRjRnRtxmH q28AmgLMEe0iuHirzoQWxtZ6D7+Fa3YO =u7RX -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
