- gnodar 11y agoInteresting. I'm using uBlock Origin with pretty much all 3rd party filters enabled, and only have 19 requests blocked. Would you mind sharing what tools you're using?
- MicroBerto 11y agoDisconnect plugin grabbed most of them for me.
- ddorian43 11y agoMaybe he means >40. I have 29 uBlock and 14 Ghostery
- inopinatus 11y agoThe relevant ones are Disconnect & uBlock Origin.
- gorhill 11y agoBlock `twimg.com` and see the count climbing to over 460 -- because of the avatars in the comment section. Personally I block such ubiquitous hostnames by default (using uBO's dynamic filtering), as they are as good as trackers (for Twitter in the current case).
- arca_vorago 11y agoLots of people install ublock but never look at the settings or enable dynamic filtering. Thats probably why you get more than them.
- trukernels 11y agoIronically, the guy you replied to is the developer behind Ublock. He's the person who knows the !most about internet privacy in Canada.
- michaelbuckbee 11y agoI only get around 20 (Optimizely, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Perfect Audience, Hotjar, a bunch of ptEngine), I think you must also be blocking twimg.com which looks to be Twitter's avatar CDN, and those extra blocks are the attempts to load avatars in the comments.
