Didn't one of the older tracking blockers go that way? Maybe it was AdBlock+ and that's why I moved to uBlock.

"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"
There's a reason some of us have a hair trigger around anything that touches on copyright. Corporations are constantly probing for ways to weaponise it against us all.
How many websites use strictly client-side tracking vs. how many rely on server-side tracking (log analysis)?
Or to look at it from the other side: Do enough people use #TrackingBlockers to significantly change the demographics that go into the KPIs that then influence the content that is produced?
