This is fascinating to me, because you just said you can't see it, but also that there are "trackers from multiple big corporations". Can you tell me what those are?

I ask primarily because we explicitly don't use any trackers, to a degree I actually pride myself on running a website that doesn't contact anything else: https://mini.xkeeper.net/private/C58L77azpY.png

The sole exceptions are YouTube embeds, afaik. I even switched out the MediaWiki and CC badges to be local.

uBlock Origin shows nothing out of the ordinary but Youtube, Google and Doubleclick, so Google, Google and Google, and I assume all of those are due to the embed.

If you mean the block page, yes, that's just the YouTube embed. You'll see the same results on any wiki page that has a YouTube embed for the same reason; it's not tracking or anything I have control over (other than outright not having YouTube embeds). But I think if anyone has concerns over that, they're better addressed at the local-user level by disabling all unauthorized iframes.

There are lightweight YouTube embeds like https://github.com/paulirish/lite-youtube-embed. It’s lauded for faster page loads, but it likely has good privacy implications too since it basically just loads a thumbnail unless you click on it.

Maybe don’t do YouTube embed if it’s just a flickering logo. Use a GIF for that.

I’m not disabling my VPN if a website with multiple trackers asks me to.

On the “ Sorry, you are not allowed to access tcrf.net right now” page I get tracked by Google, YouTube and DoubleClick according to the report by Safari.

I also have 924 kilobyte of data stored on my device after visiting tcrf.net without any consent.
