Here's #2 running a pretty similar cocktail (ublock origin, umatrix, privacy badger, httpseverywhere, cookie autodelete and decentraleyes).
There's dozens of us! Dozens!
But more seriously, there's actually lots of us. You don't hear about us because we don't narcissistically post about it on facebook. We just block shitty software and move on with our lives.
I have no stats for you though, because stats are usually collected through third party trackers, and I block them all, so I'm never represented on anyones metrics. Based on some rough stats like these[1] and my own experience, I'd guess something like 1-3% of the population in western countries.

- freehunter 9y agoBut the statement wasn't "many people block tracking", it's "the majority of people using ad blockers are doing it for tracking and not for ads". That's a far different statement that is far harder to back up.
- Sir_Substance 9y agoSo, of that list I just posted: ad blockers: ublock origin ad and tracking blockers: umatrix privacy badger tracking blockers: cookie autodelete decentraleyes other: httpseverywhere I'm mostly blocking trackers.
- p1necone 9y agoGood job repeatedly misunderstanding what the other commenter was saying.
- enedil 9y agoYes, I do it too - I have ublock orogin, privacy badger and httpseverywhere. I do it because the web is faster without ads and trackers. Just look at devtools and see how much time is saved by blocking requests.
