## Adblocking Extensions
On top of the [obvious problem](#the-obvious-problem) mentioned above, there are various technical reasons why advertisement/tracker blocking extensions cannot provide privacy. One of which is the fact that tracking can be done without any scripts at all. For example, a website only needs to know your session ID using a cookie and save all logs associated with that ID. It can then analyize when you visited the website, how long you visited the website for, which page on the website you spent the most time on, what you looked at, and so on. Another problem is that a website can just host its own tracking code or [proxy third party tracking code under its own domain](https://gist.github.com/paivaric/211ca15afd48c5686226f5f747539e8b). Just because your adblocker blocks connections to Google Analytics does not mean that you you are actually "safe" from Google Analytics at all. Even if you are successful in doing so, there is nothing stopping the website from sharing the analytics data it collected on its own with Google either.

"Okay, so adblockers are unreliable, but what is the harm?" you may ask.
