  PRESENTED BY:

  TOPIC SUMMARY:
    Ever notice that Web page loads are still slow, and your browser
    still segfaults, despite software improvements?  It's not really
    your fault.  Many Web site are now weighed down with spurious content 
    to track and log what you do and where you go, and that's not even 
    counting the outright malware.  However, it turns out there are 
    fairly easy measures users can take to fix the situation, get your 
    performance back, and protect your privacy.  Rick Moen will detail 
    those, explaining some of the ways the Web went wrong and how to 
    fix them.
