This article uses a comic to demonstrate a simple HTTP interaction and why the technical details are important. The underlying post talks about TD Ameritrade and how they are selling users' financial information to News Corp via a cross-site image fetch."

If you type a nonexistent or unavailable URL (e.g., www.verizon.cmo), or enter a search term, into your browser address bar, Verizon may present you with an Advanced Web Search page containing suggested links based upon the query you entered. The Advanced Web Search page would be presented instead of your receiving an NXDOMAIN or similar error message. The Verizon Advanced Web Search page may impact applications that rely on an NXDOMAIN or similar error message and may override similar browser-based search results pages. If you would prefer not to receive Advanced Web Search pages from Verizon, you should follow the opt-out instructions that are available by clicking on the "About the Search Results Page" link on any Advanced Web Search page."
