+#  Many sites, like yahoo.com, don't just link to other sites.
+#  Instead, they will link to some script on their own server,
+#  giving the destination as a parameter, which will then redirect
+#  you to the final target. 
+#
+#  URLs resulting from this scheme typically look like:
+#  http://some.place/some_script?http://some.where-else
+#
+#  Sometimes, there are even multiple consecutive redirects encoded
+#  in the URL. These redirections via scripts make your web browing
+#  more traceable, since the server from which you follow such a link
+#  can see where you go to. Apart from that, valuable bandwidth and
+#  time is wasted, while your browser aks the server for one redirect
+#  after the other. Plus, it feeds the advertisers.
+#
+#  The fast-redirects option enables interception of these requests
+#  by junkbuster, who will cut off all but the last valid URL in the
+#  request and send a local redirect back to your browser without
+#  contacting the remote site.
