Bad news: 'Unblockable' web trackers emerge. Good news: Firefox with uBlock Origin can stop it. Chrome, not so much

Prior to enabling "ublock" as an add-on in Firefox, you are presented with a message asking for permission and essentially informing you "that to protect you from tracking we have to track you". To me it looks like it is its own tracking mechanism.
Anyway Playing "devils advocate", couldn't this be just another method to obtain your information with the ruse of "we are protecting you". Wouldn't it be better to use an onion router? |

I tried ublock and a couple of other blockers and then tested Chrome and Firefox on https://panopticlick.eff.org/ and each time it said my browser was unique. The only browser that improved the score was tor-browser. So doesn't that mean that tracking blockers are useless on standard browsers?

This is the generic ad-on message you are presented with when processing the ublock for Firefox
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb...urce=inproduct And this is the specific message for ublock. Last edited by frcc; 1 Week Ago at 03:13 PM. |

uBlock Origin is content blocker. It just happens most people use uBlock Origin for ad-blocking.
