Third party scripts slow page loads, fix suggestions?
Every day when I surf I sit for at least two to five seconds on many websites while third party websites load scripts...or simply don't respond. Granted I know American broadband sucks in comparison to Asia and Europe for the most part but does any one have any suggestions for a universal tool that prevents third party junk from loading on the requested website?

How could it differentiate between spammy websites and ones that genuinely need to load data from other sites, such as images or scripts though?

Well scripts are different from images.

Yeah, but a lot of sites link to google's jquery scripts, so that the browser caches it for all sites, increasing loading times.
With your proposed program, those websites wouldn't function.

Looking in Firefox's about:config I looked up 'timeout' and there are nine different settings...
accessibility.typeaheadfind.enabletimeout
accessibility.typeaheadfind.timeout
browser.download.saveLinkAsFilenameTimeout
browser.urlbar.search.timeout
extensions.personas.previewTimeout
mousewheel.transaction.timeout
network.ftp.idleConnectionTimeout
network.http.keep-alive.timeout
network.proxy.failover_timeout
Most of them look unrelated (e.g. GUI stuff)...I'll do some research on the others.
