Description

Hello, I am not sure I am ate the right place so sorry if this issue is off topic, feel free to close it

I am the main developper on www.sofoot.com, I am contacting you because somone added this rule to ublock privacy :

It blocks our analytics tracking, but we use https://usefathom.com/ a privacy first; full GDPR compliant tool. there are no privacy risks with this tool, this is not Google Analytics. I don't understand why this is blocked. is there a way to remove that ?

We alos use google analytics because sadly we still have too (we plan to remove it completely this year) but I 100% agree that ublock needs to block it. No doubt. But if you look into fathom analytics you will see that this is not a pricacy concern at all.

I also think this filter is too "global": "scripts.js on all sofoot.com domains" is way too large, it could break future evolutions of our site without giving any extra privacy to our users.

Thank you for reading

Polish Piwik is also blocked, and supposedly famous for respecting privacy (Could it be that bad developers are making bad use of piwik?).

It blocks our analytics tracking

That filter is inside "uBlock filters - Privacy" for a reason: to block any kinds of user tracking.

It's not a good idea to use uAssets to encourage filter circumvention.

@MasterKia I don't understand. There is no user tracking in Fathom, No data about our users are collected. Just the fact that somebody read a page. Can you please reconsider ? Fathom is not a nuisance like Google Analytics. There is no logical reason to block it. No tracking, no cookie, no localstorage, nothing.

Or maybe you can point me to the privacy problems of Fathom, so I can ask them about it ?

edit:my bad, the plausible block is not from the privacy list
