I looked now at a page on wikipedia!!!!! I don't like much that website, but sometimes i use it!!!
Well, this time i noticed a banner!!!!!!!!
If you surf on wikipedia, after a while you'll see it too!!!! If you click on "Random article" a few times, i'm sure the banner i'm talking about will display!!!!!!!
Apparently it's only a self-supporting banner!!!! YEAH!! it looks like a self promotional banner!!!
But it's also a tracking banner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It has a textual link "Please read: A personal appeal from Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales" in a very big BOX with Jimbo's face, but if you have my BeeFree addon installed and you move the mouse over the text, BeeFREE will notice the tracking link and you'll see it in the popup!!!!! it's tracking link belonging to GoogleAnalytics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!! GoogleAnalytics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the most evil and wrost multinational company ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a piece of BeeFree's info about the tracking link!!!!!!!!!
Code: Select all
Trackers: Generic, Generic-GoogleAnalytics

Looking at the blockable items i've also found these things:
If possible they all are all to block!!!!!!!!!!!!!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BannerController (script)

It's important to remember Google is a multinational company!! , they aren't "benefactor", neither good Samaritans!!!!!!!!
It's a multinational company, and it has only shareholders to make happy!!!!!! They'll for sure use all their available obtained data for nasty things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, even if it's WIKIPEDIA, the holy website managed under the benevolent dictatorship of Jimbo Wales, i think it's okay to block it!!!!!!!!!!!
As Wikipedia and Google have everyday a closer relationship!!! it's better to do not support Wikipedia either!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very true Google corrupts everything it touches!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They did it with YouTube, Mozilla (Firefox, the "Safe browsing database", AMO, etc), Wikipedia
bye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
