Wrong, that's exactly what they do: Why do you base your stats on page views rather than unique visitors?

And yes, they're aware of the prerendering Chrome stats inflation problem, even though they believe it doesn't significantly skew their stats, for some reason they're unable to explain themselves (sounds like "faith" or "we're too lazy to adjust our data even though we could").

Does StatCounter take in account Chrome's page views inflation caused by its Instant Pages prerendering feature?

I'd be surprised, since even Google Analytics itself is affected...

Anyway, please be careful before announcing "Chrome usage surpassed this or that" :P

Disclaimer: the original (and only) NoScript can be detected as well, but at least you couldn't be notified by a JavaScript alert() box on a page where JavaScript isn't supposed to run ;)

Two tiny corrections:

1. He will find all your installed extensions among the ones he's looking for, because every Chrome extension have a manifest.json file. This means that he just needs to crawl https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/extensions for GUIDs of all the installable extensions, and he can detect your full extensions list.
2. There's no such a generic detection method for Firefox extensions. You can detect some (e.g. adblockers) by testing for their specific behavior and effects on web pages (e.g. how some DOM elements have been removed/hidden/inserted), but you can't develop a catch-all detection script, because Firefox extensions are generally undetectable.

Is he the same "Jedi Master" who allowed is lightsaber to be stolen??

sites which won't display their content until I allow Noscript to run all scripts on the page (including advertisers'), turn off Adblock, and disable Ghostery

Surrogate Scripts are meant to deal with this kind of crap.

Could you please show me some URLs to check?

If they can remember what password they used and where else they might have used it...

If you use Firefox's password manager you can ask it (Tools|Options|Security|Saved Passwords|Show passwords) and even search among its entries, by site, username or password.

Otherwise I'm afraid you will need to change them all :(

Active accounts have their password SHA-512 hashed with per-user salt, so they're safe (for a while). However those 44,000 holders of older (and now disabled) MD5 hashed accounts should rush changing their passwords elsewhere, if they have the bad habit of using the same password everywhere...

As you probably know, Roman Catholic "doctrine" doesn't come directly from scriptures, but it's mediated by tradition and Magisterium, i.e. dogmas are essentially whatever the Pope decides must believe.

Of course controversial scriptural sources are cited to support this dogma, but like anything theological or mariological (!), they're essentially mental masturbation.

Unfortunately most "believers" don't know much about their doctrine nor about their bible.
Otherwise, atheists would be the vast majority and the world would be a better place.
