Techdirt Is Now Without Any Google Ads or Tracking Code
Two steps in the right direction, but this one page still sends requests to soundcloud.com, rawgit.com, cloudflare.com, googleapis.com, amazonaws.com, fontawesome.com, sndcdn.com, stackcommerce.com, stackassets.com, stacksocial.com,  and gravatar.com.Their "self-hosted" Plausible content is pulled from tics.techdirect.com, which resolves to 46.101.161.209 and shares a reverse DNS with custom.plausible.io. Can't tell who runs the web server on the other end of this, so it may well be self-hosted.The site also dropped a first-party one-year cookie, and let a third party drop a week-long cookie.My browser is set to send Do Not Track requests, so my explicit wishes are still being flagrantly ignored.There is still a lot of third-party tracking going on here, as well as execution of remote code under the control of third parties. It's remains a privacy and security clusterfuck but it's better than it was.
