If statcounter is in the list of blocked trackers, and trackers are blocked by default, then assuming there is a huge list of untracked users is only fair. Because it would be everyone not specifically disabling the tracking protection, which no one does. Statcounter would only count outdated FF installations that also do not use an adblocker (3% seems high for that, but not absurdly high).
But I'm not certain that this is the case. https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection https://disconnect.me/trackerprotection claims to link to lists that show which trackers are only identified and which are identified and blocked, but those links just go to https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protecti..., where I do not see such a distinction being made.

- jefftk 4y agoTrackers are not blocked by default. You can verify this by visiting https://www.jefftk.com/test/statcounter https://www.jefftk.com/test/statcounter in stock Firefox, and then again after setting "Enhanced Tracking Protection" to "Strict".
