Firefox 118
Right, but Firefoxâs ETP blocks Statcounterâs JS (see https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protecti... which is where, I believe, Mozilla source their ETP blocklist from).

Question regarding portmaster's use of a depricated ad-list
Is there a particular reason portmaster uses the depricated and unofficial Disconnect.me Ad Domains (DM-AD) found at https://s3.amazonaws.com/lists.disconnect.me/simple_ad.txt rather than the official up-to-date list found at https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json ?

?
You're wrong. People have noticed that they use Whiteops (now called HUMAN Security) browser fingerprinting.

Which Tracking list is Brave's Default tracker and content blocking list and how to find it?
Like Microsoft Edge has shared that they use Disconnect's list. Which list is being used by Brave?
- Is Firefox not always able to identify a tracker, or does tracker not include what i think it does?

John Oliver Blackmails Congress With Their Own Digital Data - The âLast Week Tonightâ host paid shady brokers for lawmakersâ digital histories â promising not to release the info so long as Congress passes legislation protecting all consumersâ data
However the ultimate proof that itâs effective is that advertisers use it: a quarter of the top 10,000 websites globally use fingerprinting (https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-quarter-of-the-alexa-top-10k-websites-are-using-browser-fingerprinting-scripts/) and basically every company youâve heard of uses it: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/descriptions.md

Firefox focus blocks more trackers than DDG browser. 40 trackers vs 9. Any idea why DDG is less agressive?
Firefox Focus is based on the Mozilla/Firefox/Disconnect tracking block-lists. (https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection)
-
Is Edge's tracking protection same with firefox or even better in protecting user data?
Edge and Firefox use lists provided by Disconnect. I find it quite lacking. If you take a look at their GitHub, it's only occasionaly updated and there's a lot of ignored open issues.

Mozilla Explains: Cookies and supercookies
I see what you're saying. I don't expect that will have much, if any, effect. First, their block list is limited: https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/blob/master/services.json

Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
You can also use a declarative adblocker like uBlock Origin Lite [1], which only provides the browser with a list of elements to filter, but doesn't have any permissions to read content or perform requests. Or simply use your hosts file to apply OS-wide filtering with no browser add-ons needed: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Be aware that if you use these "passive" blocking methods, there are some sites like YouTube where you will see ads, because in these cases it's necessary to actually manipulate page content to hide them. What you can do is use a traditional adblocker but enable it only for these few sites where the declarative approach is not enough, take a look at [2] for more details.

[Paid Release]CCAdsBeGone - Customized Ads Blocking At Your Fingertips
When I select my custom hosts file, it basically breaks internet. However, if I choose a custom hosts file that is a copy of the dev's default, or if I just add a few lines to it, it will work. If I add too many lines, or use a different hosts file altogether (like the ones recommended by the dev), all connectivity breaks. Of course the latest official LetMeBlock is installed and mDNSResponder killed/restarted. I'm using Dopamine on A12+.
