external pages, just load it.
It connects to over a dozen sites, and worse, maintains
several connections. My /etc/hosts file looks like a shopping list.
And that is with "safebrowsing" , geolocation , prefetch and
all other "excuses" turned off.

The etherape app is a cool quick-n-dirty way to look at net connections and
activity. On this Debian box, Chromium with DuckDuckGo seems fairly light,
while Firefox sets the display on fire (loading a buncha ads) and then calms
down.
