So I’ve started using Ublock Origin on my firefox on Ubuntu, and I noticed that it showed no blocked trackers on the webapp of discord. I’m well aware of the perils of using any service that doesnt support e2ee for private messaging and i hate discord for that and being corporate, But i was wondering how bad would it be for browsing communities on it given the supposed and seemingly “lack” of trackers detected for it.

    You won’t find any trackers on the facebook app either, but it’s just because everything meta needs to track is already “inside” the app. Same thing goes for discord

      Yeah, when you log in with an account, they don’t need a separate mechanism of identifying you.

      If we go by your argument (which i dont doubt at all that they track inside movements), what would inspire something like twitch to add trackers to it, then? Asking purely for academic considerations.
