    Watching the counter on uBlock Origin skyrocket on any google or meta page is the same feeling.

      My uBlock Origin is showing 73 blocks on THIS PAGE here on lemmy after allowing the scripts to play the video. Without the video, only 1.

        The video is a link from a mastodon instance (masto.host). So they use trackers here?

          I’ve been using ublock on the same browser for over a year now and I’m only at 2.3M. What kind of sites are you guys on?

            Probably majority piracy sites because considering my habits I hit a combined count of a 1 year old desktop browser + 1½ year old mobile browser 993k in total. And I am online for an unhealthy amount already.

              Might be related, but even youtube, after 8 minutes of video that tab has 90 blocks.

          Where are you all browsing? My PC is about 1 year old and in all it’s lifetimeshas seen 700k blocks.
          Now mind you I am browsing a fair bit mobile and watch YT on my TV but even with mobile firefox + ublock combined it’s 993k in total.
