Just finished scanning - seems like 126 ad companies where tracking me for targetted ads! When I tried opting out, only 76 acknowledged. Just very very troubling..
- smoyer 11y agoI'm on a new machine and did limited browsing before installing uBlock and PrivacyBadger. Only 5 companies were tracking my browser (I didn't try opting out yet). Edit - 3 of the 5 companies accepted my opt-out request.
- Larrikin 11y agoI think the 126 is all companies participating in the program, not necessarily the ones that are actively tracking your browser. The second tab contains the companies tracking you. Luckily I only had 9 and was able to opt-out of all of them.
- jharohit 11y agotechnically yeah - but a lot of amongst the 126 were showing a status of "No status available" (or something along those lines). 126 seems like quite a low number for it to be the TOTAL number of participating companies - I could be wrong though..
- tjohns 11y agoAre you running an ad blocker? It seems to interfere with the status checks, since it blocks all traffic to the networks in question. Try temporarily disabling your ad blocker and trying again.
