Denying 3rd-party resources by default is nice, but definitely experts-only. Pages will break in weird ways when half their rat's nests of JavaScript are missing, and it will take some coding knowledge to figure out which parts are necessary. I may switch to this myself, but I think I'll keep telling friends and family to use Ghostery

Does ublock still block crash reporters like newrelic and self hosted party statistics like piwik? PS, I had major issues on two mainstream travel sites with ublock. It made then unusable with ublocksl's default settings.

Piwki would be fine if it was hosted on a subdomain of the first party domain.

If you visit test.com, piwki.test.com would work. However, piwik.not-test.com would be blocked.

Do you want it to block first-party trackers? I am much more tolerant of trackers (and ads) if they are per-site rather than being run by a few huge data-gatherers, as there's much less privacy impact that way.

Last time I check piwik is always blocked no matter the host.
