Turn off Disqus(javascript) for blog

Since today, I disable disqus comments on my blog.

Main reason why I make this is that I don't want to run even one line of third-party javascript on other people's browsers.

Warning! Bad english (I try to learn, so I decide to write some posts in english).

For more info I attach network logs from Firefox developer tools for one of my posts on this blog, one with disqus and second log with disabled disqus comments:

Disqus enabled

Disqus disabled

According to this logs, my content loads faster than it's comments.

Here are some other links with explanation why you should disable disqus:

Another one reason is that I don't think that my blog has even one reader, so comments are unnecessary.
