Pixel.quantserver.com

I blocked pixel.quantserver.com with noscript but that site still shows up loading even when I blocked it and that in-turn makes the site slow to finish loading, so any help about this problem?

Well, since it's called "pixel" it probably downloads images.
NoScript doesn't block any image.
If you want to block it for good, you can either use an hostfile or get latest development build and add the following rule in NoScript Options|Advanced|ABE|USER:

Code: Select all

Site pixel.quantserver.com
Deny

Did you mean: pixel.quantserve.com? (Without the trailing 'r') pixel.quantserver.com looks like a typo.

[Alan Baxter]

quantserve is a tracker. Just block it like Giorgio says, but without the trailing 'r'. Adblock Plus users can add the following filter to block it.

Code: Select all

quantserve.

It's already blocked in the EasyPrivacy filter subscription for Adblock Plus.

True. Many of the issues discussed in the NS forums are border issues that are handled very well by ABP.

I'd like to suggest a general recommendation/FAQ about using ABP together with NS on the forum or web site. Most people around here seems to think that ABP is an essential extension, so why not state it directly?

Top five reasons for not doing it (again, as it turns out).
- there would be an uproar from those who disagree.
- I'm not up to writing another FAQ right now.
- some people don't want to use another extension if they can do it in NoScript
- suggesting Adblock Plus explicitly in contexts where it's useful -- e.g. this one -- is more effective.
- Giorgio's already done it!

You may not have noticed this very old FAQ, which predates by many months Adblock Plus replacing Adblock "classic" in the popular listings.

This is why I love RequestPolicy, never had this issue, got my NS and my RP and I am good to go and for whatever other things, I setup filters in ABP but most of the time it doesn't get there for ABP to block anything, its been cut down by NS or RP. God I wish there was a way to take the best of all three and make it ONE extension.
