I still prefer to prevent http traffic being sent or received from known privacy abusers. First of all, disable third party cookies in your browser — if a website can’t make it work without relying on third party cookies, it’s probably not worth your time. I have build enough websites to tell you that there is no reason for any website to be functionally reliant on cookies from other domains. Second, either edit your .hosts to block traffic to bad players or use Privacy Badger (which I like for it lets me choose to block traffic or just cookies from a specific service). I block all pixel scripts, nonsense share buttons and anything else I deem nonessential for a smooth interaction with a site. As long as sites choose to engage in online stalking, I am going to not let them do it. And if you own a site, be a good player, don’t use pixels, update your Google Analytics tracking scopes and put privacy of your users first — it’s unsettling when I see 25 blocked trackers in Privacy Badger counter on a single page. That’s just sick.
