@phil This is why I use DNS filtering for ads/tracking. The blocking will continue until tracking improves, if ever.

There's different forms of tracking. A Mastodon follow is a form of tracking, that is even voluntary. A login is a tracking where you even put effort into saying "hey, this is me!"

And some of these are pretty good, even in the form of interactions they create between you and the tracker.

@fallbackerik @heatsink @phil I’m not quite certain how listing unrelated and far fetched interpretations of the word “tracking” is relevant here. Clearly here the discussion is about non-consensual user tracking.

Shall we mayhaps correct GP to tell them that DNS filtering won’t improve the tracking of his vinyl player needle?

DNS-level filtering is an entirely valid way to improve one’s experience of the modern web—even if with DoH it is increasingly becoming a (losing) game of whack-a-mole.

Maybe you're right and I don't have a clue what I'm talking about. Maybe I studied this as a major and then spent weeks getting an up to date understanding of the current status quo, and this is my result? Who knows? How about allowing the possibility of learning something new?
