With all respect, I think you are being too gentle on them.
The Verge is owned by Vox Media, which is close to having a Monopoly on the news(They own The Verge, Vox, NYMag{Which alone has many sections like Vulture and Curbed for example} and many more.) They are partly owned by Warner Bros. Discovery (25%).
In short they have way more than enough to keep paying their electricity bills.
2 things:
they’re actually better than the other news sites you list here.
What you are saying does not make any sense unless you did not click the links to see the amount of trackers in the tests.
Either way, I’m using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.
Yet you are using Lemmy instead of Reddit? Which means you kind of understand fully that the tools that you are talking about does not protect you 100% , rather they just reduce the amount of trackers tracking you.
Also it’s pretty dystopian to support the websites that violates people privacy, instead of using the websites that basically provide the same product with better privacy.
You can read the other websites without JavaScript as well.
Also, that might not stop all the trackers, as the webpages are loaded with their trackers.
I believe the table is correct, maybe the contributor confused them.
How do you discover providers on simplex?
No problem, I will resubmit later. I used the wrong article link anyway.
Thank you for your words, I added also Wired website.
