NoScript can block iframes; will that disable this tracker?
Also, does the Tor Browser, which includes NoScript, default to blocking iframes?

- alphapapa 11y agoNoScript->Options->Embeddings->Additional restrictions for untrusted sites->Forbid <IFRAME> Just turned that option on, myself. I might have had it on years ago--can't remember for sure--but now that I know it's being abused, I'll definitely leave it on. IFRAMEs are generally poor practice, anyway.
