It isn't something they should be blocking, but they try to. uBlock, for example, blocks self-hosted Piwik/Matomo.
But the entitlement of ad-blockers is astounding sometimes: https://github.com/easylist/easylist/pull/900 https://github.com/easylist/easylist/pull/900, in which the easylist maintainer defended blocking OpenStreetMap advertising OpenStreetMap events on openstreetmap.org, still makes my jaw drop.
- Nextgrid 8y agoI don't see how it's "entitlement" to control what your computer is doing with data it's receiving from the internet. If anything, I'd say it's the opposite site who is coming across entitled when they think not only they can expect to run any crap on user's machines, but also have the right to bitch about it when it doesn't run. In that case, would you also say it's entitlement to be installing antimalware or security updates so malware authors are no longer able to run malware on your computer?
