I once knew a site that could detect and list ALL the used trackers and cross-site cookies and other stuff of any site.

You just had to input the site name and it scanned it for you.

Now I can't find it. No site can actually list the trackers for me to examine.

I thought most of the modern browsers had this ability built in?

I don't think browsers are able to detect as much and easily as a dedicated website can. Anyway, these dedicated website detectors can also be used BEFORE visiting the site, providing more protection

Interesting. I’d like to find what you’re looking for and compare what shows on mine.

You using special scripts / add-ons? Or bare browser?

Yeh okay what does your super computer say about e.g. mathpix.com ?

Standard three google ones and one for jsdelivr.net

So no mention of "3 ad trackers", "4 third-party cookies"? Which is additionally reported by blacklight

The 3 ad trackers are also in that cookie count with jsdelivr. But no it does not break it down into separate sections.
