Does uBlock origin block these recorders without having to do all kinds of crazy advanced config? Edit: TO anyone else wondering the same thing, the answer is no. However, Ghostery does block it. I didn't like ghostery before because it broke all kinds of sites, so this time around I re-added it except I ONLY selected the "Site Analytics" category and left all the others blank (which can be handled by uBlock origin)

Ditch Ghostery, they collect and sell your information (how ironic). Use Privacy Badger instead.

  That didn't block the inspectlet demo: https://www.inspectlet.com/hello/capturedemo https://www.inspectlet.com/hello/capturedemo Do you have a source for them selling data?

    That demo doesn't record anything at all here, or at least it certainly cannot play anything back. I'm using Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin (with dynamic mode on). In all fairness to Ghostery, it seems they've cleaned up their act after being bought out by Cliqz: https://adexchanger.com/data-exchanges/ghostery-sheds-ad-tracker-sells-off-plug-focus-compliance/ https://adexchanger.com/data-exchanges/ghostery-sheds-ad-tra... Specifically, it was the Ghostrank feature that was troublesome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Criticism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghostery#Criticism I don't know how the current version of Ghostery behaves.
