Vincent Bernat writes in his blog about recent steps he took to increase privacy for his visitors and efficiency for the blog. He started out with excluding privacy-hostile modifications like Google Analytics, Disqus, third-party fonts, and much more. After reflection, he pared back and found the results better all around.

He addresses the following technologies one by one:

  • Analytics
  • Fonts
  • Videos
  • Comments
  • Search engine
  • Newsletter
  • Java­Script
  • Memento: CSP

    yeah but as a business owner I dont care about that

    i just want money

    selling your info is the best way I can do that if I have no other model or products. i mean really the defaults just give it away and google and microsoft and others have complete guides on how to monetize people.

    all this really reads to me is the guy's costs will go up because privacy isn't free--and i know its true because i am making money by essentially running code on my website that i didnt even write myself. i just cash the checks. i dont even care who the people are

    i mean really. if you dont like it, then its not the websites that will have to change first. you have to get your friends and family to stop handing out their info about you for free.
