Batch of site breakage fixes #1107

Closed dharb closed 5 months ago

dharb commented 1 year ago

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.
