how can you make it illegal?? >make a new law >they just move elsewhere how??? tell me
You just tell Congress that the data brokers have all the rights to sell our data to Chinese data brokers. Maybe that will change their mind.
In the case of this particular website, perhaps Google tracks you less, but you get tracked by ` https://test-v1.adriaan.com ` — whatever that means. 9: https://test-v1.adriaan.com/script-v1.js " async> https://test-v1.adriaan.com/simple.gif?type=event&hostname=t...

Ha, nice find! I'm the Adriaan in adriaan.com. I'm testing some new script features that might improve deliverability. It's not sending any personal data. I use another domain to have the least effect of ad-blockers.
You are sending the user agent, path, referrer, a session id + the IP (which is automatically sent) to your personal server and also using a different domain to track users who have ad blockers installed. Even Google Analytics does not use random domain names to track adblock users (yet).
This title is highly misleading, implying that Google tracks DuckDuckGo searches directly, which isn’t true. It also reinforces a conspiracy theory that we’re owned by Google, which also of course isn’t true. Kindly please change it to be more accurate about Google analytics and other Google trackers on websites you may visit. We’ve been sounding the alarm about Google analytics, tag manager, and other Google tracker…
Yeah. This is simple fear mongering to sell its own analytics product.

how you can ban the practice??? in what way ?
You ban it by making it illegal.
User tracking only exists because it generates money. We should ban the entire practice. No more targeted ads (with very little exceptions).

How is the MAC collected?
It isn't, parent is making stuff up. Browsers do not offer an interface that is exposing that information. And remote servers are outside of your local network and thus cannot see these values, either.
Let's face reality: as soon as you browse the internet, you will be tracked and identified. Here are just a few data points used for fingerprinting: IP address, User-Agent string, Referrer URL, Requested URL, Language, Locale, Screen resolution, Time zone, System time, Installed fonts, Installed plugins, Cookie data, Browser fingerprint, Canvas fingerprint, WebGL fingerprint, AudioContext fingerprint, Mouse movements…
Just using Firefox with uBlock, no history, and privacy settings on max, through a somewhat trustworthy VPN like Mullvad will make your data mostly useless. Yeah, "they" could still catch you in a million ways, but if your threat model revolves mostly around surveillance capitalism you'll just be too much of a hassle to matter
