#2And in v80 in alternate universe, Firefox will purge the sites from the Internet, after the data.
Somebody please point me to the portal...

#3I wouldn't mind going back to a JavaScript-less web experience. I know not all tracking is based on JS, but the browser provides so many heuristics this way: screen size, cursor location, installed plugins. Give me reasonably formatted HTML, and something a little bit more powerful than curl.

If "reasonably formatted" means CSS comes along for the ride, prepare for tracking pixels behind onhover rules, and on and on we go...

Nothing stopping you from doing this on your next / current project. I've been 100% committed on getting the web back to as lightweight as possible for the last couple years worth of development.

uMatrix basically does that for you now.

By reasonably formatted, I would actually exclude onhover. To clarify, I meant a document that would be readable without any interaction. You've got me wondering if privacy-focused browsers like Brave have the ability to disable potential tracking mechanisms like onhover.

#8It's rather neat to be able to read a short diff, including a test, to see exactly what that means.
From my limited understanding: it purges cookies and localStorage, if the storage access API permission was not granted?

Blocking trackers helps a lot for performance, and I second uMatrix. I even showed my 13 year old kid how to use it. However, uMatrix on mobile is not particularly easy to use (I use it, but would not recommend it).

I wish there was simply a way where ad-supported sites I visit could collect their revenue without having me submit to advertiser surveillance. I don't mind seeing ads. I hate being tracked.
