Disqus sharing more data than you think

2 pointsby funkdifiedabout 8 years ago
In addition to the calls to disqus&#x27; API, I&#x27;m also seeing one or multiple requests to the following domains:<p><pre><code> tapestry.tapad.com pippio.com p.nexac.com adadvisor.net s.thebrighttag.com emailretargeting.com loadus.exelator.com tags.bluekai.com bevo.adsnative.com bcp.crwdcntrl.net </code></pre> Open the console on this page and see for yourself:<p><pre><code> https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsfiddle.net&#x2F;bmfmr2ps&#x2F; </code></pre> Also, they clearly have no domain whitelisting, as I can just load up Google&#x27;s Disqus engine in a jsfiddle.<p>The worst part. I am actually paying Disqus to opt-out of their ad service. I call bullshit.<p>One more gripe: I did a 3G throttle test with browser caching turned off, and loading all this garbage for Disqus took a few seconds! Time to remove from my site completely. Anyone know any good replacements?
