Are you trying to imply uBO doesn't block trackers by default? |

Facebook and Google are tracking and advertising companies. When you connect to them on practically every website, they in all likelihood are tracking you, even if the functionality isn't labeled as a "tracker". I do not have a Facebook account. There is no legitimate reason, then, that I should be connected to "connect.facebook.net". |

This has been bothering me for some time. There was a big hubbub when it was discovered that the Brave browser had whitelisted Facebook in the code. But one comment surprised me:
I was shocked to learn this. Now, of course this isn't quite true -- uBlock allows you to set your own rules, but it is true for the default user experience. And this just seems wrong to me. These tech giants are privacy-destroying, mega-industrial sized hoovers of the Internet. I have no Facebook account, and it seems terrible that I'm tracked by default when using a plugin design to protect my privacy. I think the default should block these tech giants, with the option to enable them for those users that want them.
