As a user I use uBlock Origin to block all 3rd party JS by default. This protects me from loading ads, social widgets(trackers), and trackers. A lot of the web is completely broken when you don't run 3rd party JS so each site requires a bit of whitelisting before it will function correctly.
As a website owner I try to lead by example by not including any 3rd party JS(or any JS at all for that matter). Specifically avoiding trackers from Google or Facebook.
- gorhill 10y agoEven without going as far as blocking all 3rd-party js/frames (which I do personally), one can use the dynamic filtering pane to at least block the most ubiquitous domain names and allow only on a per-need basis. I do use facebook.* in one of my tutorial about reducing privacy exposure[1], but of course this applies to any ubiquitous 3rd-party servers out there (of which Disqus qualifies in my opinion, same for Gravatar, etc.) This approach will minimally break the pages with nice benefits in return: reducing the ability of ubiquitous 3rd-parties to profile browsing history, faster page load.
