Much of the bulk is not only advertising, and analyic data for the

forum owner, but huge complex tracking operations by google and
others
to link up your various online activities and log them.

Running "NoScript" can reduce that quite a bit.

Reduces the tracking but you still have to download it.

I get the impression it blocks some of the tracking scripts before
download as well - so reduces the volume of stuff transferred.
