Tracking goes way beyond advertising. An ad-blocker won't block Twitter's "Tweet" or Facebook's "Like" buttons or any third party service that isn't directly involved in serving ads. If your concern is your privacy, then an ad-blocker doesn't help as much as you think it does. See: https://donottrack-doc.com/en/ https://donottrack-doc.com/en/
- newscracker 11y agoI know the differences, but I haven't seen any popular ad-blockers that don't also block or allow blocking trackers because they all have various blacklists you can use (I'm referring to the ones like uBlock Origin and Adblock Plus).
- bad_user 11y agoWhere can I find such blacklists for uBlock / AdBlock Plus meant for trackers? Is there a page documenting them somewhere? I'd be interested.
- ethbro 11y agoI get the sense a lot of those are community-knowledge-only documented, so IRC (I would assume) might be the best place to start if you're interested.
- wooger 11y agoCLick on the uBlock Origin options tab and you will find a list of all the 3rd party filter lists in use ( & available by default). Most of these include a link to the source site.
- scott_karana 11y agouBlock Origin, at least, offers many such lists in its third party filter's page[1]: Basic tracking list by Disconnect EasyPrivacy (forums.lanik.us) Fanboy’s Enhanced Tracking List (forums.lanik.us) Anti-ThirdpartySocial (see warning inside list) (forums.lanik.us) Fanboy’s Annoyance List (forums.lanik.us) Fanboy’s Social Blocking List (forums.lanik.us) Malvertising filter list by Disconnect Malware Domain List (malwaredomainlist.com) Malware domains (www.malwaredomains.com) Malware domains (long-lived) (www.malwaredomains.com) Malware filter list by Disconnect Spam404 (www.spam404.com) 1 chrome://ublock0/content/dashboard.html#3p-filters.html
