Exfiltration of personal data by session-replay scripts

Post by gonzi »

Does AdBlock Plus block the execution of session-replay scripts (see https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2017/11/1 ... y-scripts/) ?

I'm afraid this reply is meaningless to me. I went to that forum and couldn't make head nor tail of it. All I need to know is whether AdBlock Plus blocks those session-replay scripts.

On easylist forum there are already some posts about those replay scripts.

ABP is blocking using filters. The easylist authors can add filters to block such scripts or you can create your own filters.
Easylist forum is the place where to report such scripts if are ads or threats to the privacy or other malicious crap.
