Any form of proprietary lock-in is something we target to remove, anything that invades privacy needs to be stopped/mitigated (think <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/NoScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NoScript</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/JShelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JShelter</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Offen" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Offen</span></a>.dev, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Goatcounter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Goatcounter</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/TrackingTheTrackers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>TrackingTheTrackers</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Searx" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Searx</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Qubes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Qubes</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/SpectrumOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SpectrumOS</span></a>, etc).

Here is our first attempt at an overarching definition: <br><a href="https://guardianproject.info/2020/05/20/on-the-classification-of-tracking/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">guardianproject.info/2020/05/2</span><span class="invisible">0/on-the-classification-of-tracking/</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/TrackingTheTrackers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackingTheTrackers</span></a> <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/CleanInsights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CleanInsights</span></a></p>
Guardian Project<p><a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/TrackingTheTrackers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrackingTheTrackers</span></a> I'm digging into tools these days, <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/faup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>faup</span></a> provides lookups if a string is a known domain name, and <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/ipgrep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipgrep</span></a> returns all strings that resolve to an IP address. The <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/ipgrep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ipgrep</span></a> approach seems much more useful since it doesn't need a pre-prepared list of "known domain names", instead <a href="https://social.librem.one/tags/DNS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DNS</span></a> provides that</p><p><a href="https://github.com/stricaud/faup" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/stricaud/faup</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/jedisct1/ipgrep" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/jedisct1/ipgrep</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
