- atleta 6y agoMakes sense. Actually it could very much work without the active participation of the web sites, at least for cross-site tracking. Because we can collect and identify and categorize those cookies. And now that we're talking about it, Firefox does have something similar accessible from the URL bar, called "Enhanced tracking protection".
- pythux 6y agoWell, enhanced tracking protection is closer to what an adblocker/content blocker would do as far as I know. They classify some domains as trackers based on a static list from Disconnect then use that information to either block requests or enforce extra restrictions on those (like blocking cookies/storage).
