  5. "the German publishing giant Axel Springer ... is suing Eyeo, makers of Adblock Plus, on the grounds that changing HTML to block an ad creates a 'derivative work' of Axel Springer's web-pages"

  9. How many websites use strictly client-side tracking vs. how many rely on server-side tracking (log analysis)?

    > uBlock Origin on Firefox blocks all YouTube ads for me

    I use this as a backup. My primary digital prophylactic is NoScript, which gives me full control over which domain names websites can pull JavaScript from to run in my browser:

    noscript.net/usage/

    #NoScript #TrackingBlockers
