Isn't it better to remove the different root problems isntead of having plugins working around?


Personally, I use uBlock Origin more to block obnoxious ads than to block the tracking.

I'm not sure I really care that much about tracking, honestly. So what if reddit knows I bought a toaster on Amazon recently? What are they going to do with that data, show me toaster ads? I'm going to be blocking that ad. Sell the fact that I bought a toaster? Whatever. It's all going to be so advertisers can personalize ads...which I will be blocking.
