Re: V-loggin' is doggin'
I don’t see anything on any of your pages that loads from anywhere else other than your domain or one of your subdomains. The “network” pane of the web inspector doesn’t show any external resources at all.
In fact your site is admirably lean. The only thing that immediately springs to mind that you could optimise are the fonts – and that’s by no means essential as once loaded they are there for all subsequent pages. Currently you have them as relatively large ttf and otf fonts. If you want to, try supplying the woff and woff2 fonts, preferably subsetted to the parts of the font you’re likely to use like the Latin characters.
This site can help for fonts that are available from google fonts but that you want to serve from your site, for example Goudy 1911, Neuton, Share and Share Tech.
You can choose the weights you need and the charset subset as well as the level of support you want and it gives you a download as well as the css font-face code for it. For “HkGrotesk” you can use FontSquirrel’s webfont generator or look here from some that have already been converted.

the photo above is from Chrome (which also detected the tracker before). Interestingly, ff is still showing the warning.
Might you perhaps have another extension of something in firefox that is loaded alongside Destry’s site and makes use of google fonts? If you don’t have that extension with Chrome, that might explain the difference.
I think that even txp was using goofonts up to a version ago?
Yes, and Phil switched to serving the relevant fonts locally.

Hi Julian,
Wouldn’t this be returning false positive results in other sites? I am investigating it though as this is some very strange behaviour.

Thanks for that tip. I didn’t know those fonts were available like that. I tracked them down from free sources, but the packages I found didn’t contain the woff options.
Is it necessary to use both woff and woff2? I notice if I employ both, their combined size is larger than just the single ttf files I had before in each case. But if it’s just one or the other, then those would save about ~30-40 KB in each case.
I have to use Alegreya italic as an italic for Goudy because Goudy doesn’t come in italic. ;) It works pretty good. I just set the i and em elements to it, and whatever other slants I need.
Some day I’ll be able to buy Livory, my absolute favourite typeface in the world. I just love it. I had it via TypeKit for years, paying for that stupid service for years, while my site was offline for years. Somebody punch me in the face.
Yeah, I killed that stupid Adobe account.
In the meantime, the Goudy/Alegreya tag team is okay. No Livory, though. :{

Re: V-loggin' is doggin'
For modern browsers WOFF and WOFF2 suffice, and only one will be used depending on which is supported. You can see the level of support for WOFF and WOFF2 on caniuse.com.

You’re right there! No further ideas…

Re: V-loggin' is doggin'
Yiannis, I’m currently comparing FF Android to Fennec (also Mozilla) and found I’ve had to disable prefetching there, too. Which gave me the idea: Is your FF maybe set to prefetch connections, which seems Mozilla’s factory default?

Hi Uli,
I have prefetch to off!

Just curious… Why are the FontSquirel’s woff files executable files, whereas those from the Google Helper site are not? Even though they have the same extensions, they seem to be formatted differently, according to the icons I see on them in Finder. The HK Grotesk files are that way, for example.
I’m always suspicious of — and hesitant to use — executable files.
