  1. Google has it's hands in just about every web site. For example, VideoHelp runs scripts from ajax.googleapis.com and google-analytics.com. Also from skimresources.com. All of that is to track where you've been and what you've been looking at so they can serve ads tailored to you. Many sites run javascript from a dozen or more external sites. For example, here's NoScript's report for tomshardware.com:

    Very little of that is for your benefit.

    first, i was just viewing this topic: https://forum.videohelp.com/showthread.php?t=360984
    then, i went to this topic: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/360970-How-can-I-create-such-a-high-quality-video-on-YOUUBE



    not sure what the correct term for this is. but aint this yet another way of highjacking ads ? and not even just taking them from one page and putting them on another, instead, it is incorporated in an external youtube video that i was playing. i mean, where did that ad come from ? i was viewing a post, not ads related to that topic. this must be linked to scripting of some sort. even when you turn off scripting, there will always be times when you need to turn it back on, whether to play a video or log into the forum, and so on.
    See the little yellow thing on the timeline of that video? That's a trigger for an ad or other overlay info.
