> I can see a future where safe browsing of the web will only be possible through some sort of whitelisting. Which is unfortunate, because it's already started that many places won't even render plain text without javascript. > I think that anti-blocking and anti-tracking, if trying to work alongside the full feature set of the Internet, is fighting a honorable but eventually losing war. For me it's less about "tracking" and more about tracking with aggregation. Self-hosted things like AWStat and Matomo (formerly Piwik) are fine in my book. It's bringing together those analytics across different sites which is problematic.
