Why not add suggested filters to ublock filters
You mean this reddit.com##script:inject(addEventListener-defuser.js, mousemove)
?
This is just example. [edit: This will break stuff]
And this post looks like FUD to me.
FYI - more research was posted about this a couple of months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/87mi06/psa_reddit_has_enhanced_their_tracking_they_now/
If it is not a 3rd party connection, there is no problem with session replay or anything that tracks. I personally have no problem with first party tracking. Besides that, this is FUD. Just a random pseudo research post by someone who is taking it to extreme. The problem is when the 3rd party comes in.
As long as UBO block the shitty get rich quick ads, that is enough.
I verified myself just now that POST requests including at the very least the user agent are sent to reddit.com, which is sufficient for first-party tracking to be blocked according to EasyPrivacy policy.
Surprised so many people have no issue with reddit's tracking\session recording\going closed-source. I don't care if it's first party, if it's closed source they could be doing some shady stuff. Plus, these session replay scripts have been known to record data it shouldn't like passwords\people's credit cards.
Someone apparently wrote a tampermonkey script that will block this tracking pretty well and not break the site - https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/87mi06/psa_reddit_has_enhanced_their_tracking_they_now/dweil5v
It would be interesting idea to try blocking these webpack modules selectively.

It's no a "no issue" thing, it's an issue of having someone willing to volunteer a lot of time investigating a fix that will reliably work -- just assume all volunteers here are already quite busy.
I looked at the userscript and by the look of it it's not something that can be blocked by uBO. Maybe there are other ways to block the tracking but as said, someone needs to volunteer their time to investigate a workable solution, if any.
