I once knew a site that could detect and list ALL the used trackers and cross-site cookies and other stuff of any site.

You just had to input the site name and it scanned it for you.

Now I can't find it. No site can actually list the trackers for me to examine.

YESSS! Exactly what I was looking for again. I can't believe this site is so hard to find manually. Not the right keywords? Invisible...

That is because search engines are shittier by the day

Exodus is also built into Aurora store. It displays the trackers on the app's page

Try newsbreak.com, that’s a shitshow.

Thanks for that.

I thought most of the modern browsers had this ability built in?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't think browsers are able to detect as much and easily as a dedicated website can. Anyway, these dedicated website detectors can also be used BEFORE visiting the site, providing more protection

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Interesting. I’d like to find what you’re looking for and compare what shows on mine.

You using special scripts / add-ons? Or bare browser?

Yeh okay what does your super computer say about e.g. mathpix.com ?

Standard three google ones and one for jsdelivr.net

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

So no mention of "3 ad trackers", "4 third-party cookies"? Which is additionally reported by blacklight

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

The 3 ad trackers are also in that cookie count with jsdelivr. But no it does not break it down into separate sections.

This sounds like Exodus but Exodus is made for apps not websites. Apps are easier because they tend to list all that stuff up front.

DuckDuckGo browser will block and list trackers and third party requests. I use it on iOS and there’s a desktop app as well. Not sure about android though.
