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.

YESSS! Exactly what I was looking for again. I can't believe this site is so hard to find manually. Not the right keywords? Invisible...

[–] Loucypher@lemmy.ml 3 points 9 months ago

That is because search engines are shittier by the day

[–] sic_semper_tyrannis@feddit.ch 1 points 9 months ago

Exodus is also built into Aurora store. It displays the trackers on the app's page

Huh, old.reddit.com is so much worse tham reddit.com

[–] lemonuri@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

I get exactly the results for reddit.com and old.reddit.com

Mobile safari even blocked more than this website found.

Sooo safari is hallucinating or blacklight failed us

Try newsbreak.com, that’s a shitshow.

[–] lemmyreader@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks for that.

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

[–] dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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 ?

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Standard three google ones and one for jsdelivr.net

[–] dysprosium@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] willya@lemmyf.uk 3 points 9 months ago

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

[–] LWD@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

This sounds like Exodus but Exodus is made for apps not websites. Apps are easier because they tend to list all that stuff up front.

[–] BurningRiver@beehaw.org 1 points 9 months ago

DuckDuckGo browser will block and list trackers and third party requests. I use it on iOS and there’s a desktop app as well. Not sure about android though.
