Keep in mind that it doesn't show up the icons at all if you're using a content blocker and activated Fanboy’s Annoyance List. This is because the critical resource is named "/socialmedia-leak/socialmedia-leak.js".

Thanks. I just enabled Fanboy’s Annoyance List in ublock origin. I've haven't spent any time digging through that filter list, but I'm now interested. Any other recommendations or resources?

  Personally I went with EasyList and local EasyList against ads, Fanboy’s Annoyance and Anti-ThirdpartySocial because social media integrations generally annoy me. EasyPrivacy and Fanboy’s Enhanced Tracking List‎ for privacy as well as the Adblock Warning Removal List‎ and this cool thing against the EU cookie failure: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-shit-list/master/filterlist.txt https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r4vi/block-the-eu-cookie-s... It's not very complete, though.

    Why does it generally annoy you?

      If I want to share content on a social platform I just copy the link and post it wherever I like. I don't need slow, endless lists of tiny buttons to nudge me into something.

Renamed it. Does it make any difference?

  The blocked string is "socialmedia-"; filename is fine, folder name is still triggering the script being blocked.

Yes, this needs to be made clear: Fanboy Annoyance won't protect you from Social Media Fingerprinting, it just prevents the proof of concept on that one site from working properly. Disabling 3rd-party cookies in your browser is what protects people against Social Media Fingerprinting. I always advise to disable 3rd-party cookies -- unfortunately this is not enabled by default in browsers. Even without this Social Media Fingerprinting issue, anyone looking at cookie payload (which also include local and session storage) on common top sites will be horrified at the result of not blocking 3rd-party cookies. I found it's quite rare to find a site broken because 3rd-party cookies are blocked.
