intercom.io added to Disconnect.me's list here, I think:

https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/commit/6f8da2528636ccee0f57a715402025c3d8f9ceb2

Best to confirm we block exactly as Disconnect does, and check other blocklists such as EasyPrivacy. If widget.intercom.io holds stateless/reusable scripts-as-modules perhaps we can allow it, but from upstream blocking, it sure seems as though Intercom is a tracker.
