I once knew a site that could detect and list ALL the used trackers and cross-site cookies and other stuff of any site.

You just had to input the site name and it scanned it for you.

Now I can’t find it. No site can actually list the trackers for me to examine.

DuckDuckGo browser will block and list trackers and third party requests. I use it on iOS and there’s a desktop app as well. Not sure about android though.

I get exactly the results for reddit.com and old.reddit.com

Mobile safari even blocked more than this website found.

Try newsbreak.com, that’s a shitshow.

YESSS! Exactly what I was looking for again. I can’t believe this site is so hard to find manually. Not the right keywords? Invisible…

That is because search engines are shittier by the day

Exodus is also built into Aurora store. It displays the trackers on the app’s page

This sounds like Exodus but Exodus is made for apps not websites. Apps are easier because they tend to list all that stuff up front.

I thought most of the modern browsers had this ability built in?

I don’t think browsers are able to detect as much and easily as a dedicated website can. Anyway, these dedicated website detectors can also be used BEFORE visiting the site, providing more protection

Interesting. I’d like to find what you’re looking for and compare what shows on mine.

You using special scripts / add-ons? Or bare browser?

Yeh okay what does your super computer say about e.g. mathpix.com ?

Standard three google ones and one for jsdelivr.net

So no mention of “3 ad trackers”, “4 third-party cookies”? Which is additionally reported by blacklight

The 3 ad trackers are also in that cookie count with jsdelivr. But no it does not break it down into separate sections.
