Ask HN: Is there a way to stop Alexa/Similarweb from tracking my site?
- Cozumel 9y agoA better question would be why you want to do this? If people use the Alexa toolbar it adds a header to their user agent you could use to block them[0], but Alexa is pure junk and not worth concerning yourself with[1]. I also don't think people quite realise the privacy implications of using that addon, it phones home on literally every page a user is on, that's how it works. Every single site, (porn) link, whatever is tracked.

- gesman 9y agoLots of people quite not realize the fact that they got this nasty toolbar/addon to begin with.
