A thorough review of our blocklist and user-reported site breakages turned up quite a few cases where we are blocking requests that aren't actually trackers, and provide real site functionality. This is happening because these requests have a profile that appears similar to trackers--they might set a cookie, touch localStorage, or hit browser APIs commonly used by fingerprinting scripts--so they are flagged as such by our crawler.
