Their goal is to protect privacy. It makes sense to me.
- dieulot 6y ago> theoretical
- choo-t 6y agoLike everything until it's used.
- perryizgr8 6y agoThen why doesn't easylist add google.com and facebook.com to their list? I'm sure G/FB track every single click you do on their pages. Huge privacy violation. Not even theoretical. Block youtube also, they are tracking your viewing habits, how much you watched, where you skipped, etc. Just block all this. I wish there was a way to easily override individual entries in easylist/ubo.
- monadgonad 6y agoBecause those are services that people use and consent to (implicitly at least) violating their privacy. There's a huge difference between YouTube tracking my habits to improve my YouTube experience (as well as for marketing reasons) and a third party tracking them solely for marketing reasons.
