Wait tracking? Does it really have that?

I meant web tracking: my ublock origin stopped cloudflareinsights.com, posthog.com and googletagmanager.com (which is most probably used to add more stuff - IDK for sure since I didn't try unblocking to see what it would do).

Hmm almost every website has some sort of tracking. Does it have ads though? I didn't see any

Yeah... and most send info to the same mega companies, which is why it's creepy :)

BTW: I'm 100% ok with a website collecting stats on which of their pages are more popular and even with profiling my session to see which pages correlate to which - I'm not ok with websites remembering me across sessions and definitely not ok with Google (and others) tracking my whole web history and using/selling it to show me shitty ads.
