I'm wondering if this makes things easier or harder for ad blockers? I guess they could remove the Zaraz script?

The script notifies the Zaraz backend about the different properties of the visit: page, browser, device, relevant cookies and more. 3. The Zaraz backend evaluates the information, and looks for the Facebook Pixel cookie. 4. If the Facebook Pixel cookie is included, the Zaraz backend contacts Faceb…
>isn't this a glorified version of segment? Why is it "glorified"? Isn't it exactly the same as segment? I wonder if this will be free for Cloudflare user. We can now essentially abstract most JS script into a single file shared by hundreds of millions of site though Cloudflare.

I am co-founder of Zaraz. The description is there is actually old. Zaraz doesn't load the Facebook Pixel in the website at all. It loads it completely server side. It's very different from Segment, mostly because it essentially requires not client side JS at all.
