20 Home Pages, 500 Trackers Loaded: Media Succumbs to Monitoring Frenzy (mondaynote.com) 14 points by denzil_correa 10y ago ↗ HN
[–] degenerate 10y ago ↗ Does anyone know if uBlock Origin's default "EasyPrivacy" filter blocks tracking scripts like this? Or is a separate tool like Ghostery actually necessary if I want to stop the trackers from loading? [–] orbjuice 10y ago ↗ You can select to use the hpHosts’s Ad and tracking servers list, which blocks loading assets from the IPs in this list:http://hosts-file.net/ad_servers.txtThis is essentially the same as what Ghostery does, without the option to send that information back to Ghostery.

[–] ablation 10y ago ↗ Is it gauche of me to point out that OP's site itself uses at least five trackers, along with obvious UTM tagging in the URL?
