New Facebook thing
I just noticed mbworld was taking ages to load and that our works content filter was causing it. I looked at the page source and found that it was the facebook.net script. I blocked it with adblock and all is well. Just thought I would let you know this can cause loading issues for people behind company filters.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we are aware that this could potentially cause problems with corporate firewalls and content filtering components. We are looking into developing an opt-in module that would mask some of this content for this purpose.

That is a splendid idea...but, you would be wasting your time. We (us business owners) can do DPI "at will" (this is Deep Packet Inspection). We can and do. Assuming that the IT staff is also blocking QUIC (UDP 80/443) as they should be...well, FB is in general one of the first things blocked.
The moment a system hits the site, it lights up Facebook and Google services to see if it can credential from a known user account via cookie. If I, as a business owner and network admin want to block FB, I can and will. If a staff member tries to circumvent our network policies - well, they get fired. In the second image you can see what our network content system blocked from a single - fresh hit to mbworld.org, this was from one of our servers where it has never seen your site before.
