Every once in a while I see someone talk about how a page loading loads a bunch of tracking elements from various known tracing sites and things like scripts. I don't suppose you could head me in the right direction as to where I could read a bit on how to do this myself? Thanks for any help

A good place to start is https://www.privacytools.io/#browser

Spend some time using uMatrix (much better than NoScript these days). If you're running uMatrix you do not need NoScript.

Some good documentation in regard to uMatrix:

Chrome has developer tools which allow you to see every request a page makes.
