I find this hard to believe. It implies that more than half of web sites are serving static content from non-reprogramable ROM using a webserver implemented in a non-reprogramable FPGA or equivalent.

Quote the article:
The big problem is that even when a website is managed by a careful company, it will often load content from other sites,


Turning my adblock off I see:
codeproject.com - OK
*.fastly.net - assuming this is your CDN, OK
assorted google domains - probably not a malware risk, tracking OTOH??? Probably not anything blatant though, since Privacy Badger hasn't caught them being bad; it can't spot pure server side fingerprinting though.
developermedia.com - dunno what this is, but my adblock defaults to stopping the javascript it serves. The home built ad network I vaguely recall you were running years ago????
doubleclick.net - Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.

But compared to a average 25:1 native to 3rd party request score cited in the article you're well ahead of the curve at least.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
