MY GOSH! Why does this place have so many 3rd party trackers?!?! I just newly got lightbeam for firefox and then bam! I see a lot of trackers. Why do we have this? Or is it because of the things we post here... Like photos being related to imgur etc.
But anyways here you go with the screenie

These are the services that people use to share screenshots. They only do it to track hot linking like everyone does here. Just set up Adblock to block the trackers, but if you do you won't see a lot of images people share.

Yea, I usually host screenshots and files myself to provide more convenient access to files (instead of an ads bunch, return a file to download)

Yeah. Makes sense.
(No wonder why I lag so much more when I go see a lot of images!)

If you really worry about "trackers" I would recommend installing the browser plugin "Ghostery". It is a plugin which shows you the trackers on a website and lets you disable them.
Or let is explain from this video:
