[OSM-talk] ethnio.com javascripts loaded on osm user registration page

[Niklas Cholmkvist]

Hi,

Because I'm curious to read how new users see openstreetmap when they
register (and also a curious chance to see the new contributor
terms :) ) I went to the registration page of openstreetmap
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new .

Why does that page load scripts from ethnio.com? Those scripts are not
used on the main page at http://www.openstreetmap.org/ .
I tried to find any reference on the OSM wiki about ethnio.com but I
didn't find any references. No references on Wikipedia either. Both
searches for "ethnio" and "ethnio.com" were used.
It makes me a bit uneasy, being a user of tor every new javascript poses
an extra little risk of unmasking the IP. (not that the internet isn't
already swarming with javascripts loaded from 3rd party sites ;) hehe)

I'm looking forward to comments.. mainly on ethnio.com,
