I agree that these may break a lot of functionality, but I am pretty sure that these are not "innocent" in the sense that they wouldn't do tracking.

- josephcsible 3y agoThat's like saying we should block port 443 since it's not "innocent" because tracking happens over it.
- jruohonen 3y agoNo it is not: distributing small-scale JavaScript loads to third-party CDNs cannot be compared to blocking a port. The thing is, you could easily enough host those locally. There are also GDPR violations here, and there are plenty of security threats involved too. (Note also that it was the parent poster who used the term "innocent".)
