What's an example of a Microsoft script loading on a 3rd party site, to help wrap my head around this?
- yegg 4y agoThe original example was Workplace.com embedding a LinkedIn script.
- KoftaBob 4y agoAh, I see! I think for transparency sake, it could be helpful to list the Microsoft trackers that were essentially white listed and therefore allowed to load on a particular site, right under the list of trackers that were blocked.
- boomboomsubban 4y agoWhen you visit a site, a variety of scripts are downloaded and run. Some from the website you visit, some from their CDN, and some from a variety of third parties that may track what you're doing and/or provide some other functionality. Google and Facebook are the major parties involved in this from my experience, but there are quite a few different ones including Microsoft. This is what I've gathered from running uMatrix for years.
