I tend to open web pages and leave them there until I return later, it's a sort of "parallel browsing" which schedules attention in a somewhat haphazard way. Currently I have 129 pages open in nine windows - I don't claim that this is a good thing, I'm just saying that's how it is at the moment. My cablemodem has enough upstream to about 37 such pages phoning home (every 2 seconds, 700 bytes of HTTP headers). That's it, maxed out. I think my remedies are, - disable JS for the whole browser - filter all incoming JS to remove dojo.io.* and anything similar (in this case, appending an iframe with a form). Privoxy may help. - use a browser which blocks async calls, the same way it may block cookies, images and popups, and for the same reasons. Given the privacy considerations of asynchronous web applications, I tend to prefer disabling Javascript. Even if this means that some web sites don't work properly.

Is it actually needed? Can you switch it off please? I'm not a complete Luddite here, I'm writing an Ajax-flavoured web app at work (no XML, but JSON). The difference is that at work we control both ends, and chose Ajax because in this case it's easier to deploy than Perl/Tk running or displaying on the workstation. It's a question of using appropriate technology.
