Safari downloading pixel.gif

Hey there,


for a couple of weeks now I have an issue with Safari: When browsing on some websites Safari starts downloading small files such as pixel.gif, pixel-1.gif, pixel-2.gif and so on...


Anyone having the same issues? Any idea to fix it?


Thanks

You're probably using ad-blocking software that blocks single-pixel "web bugs."
