This is a minimial blocklist based on surveys on most used webtechnology related to advertising and tracking in Western Europe and North
|
|
|
|
|
America. Although title is Top500, it are actually a over 500 analysis, advertising, tagmanagement and tracking servers (domains), because
|
|
|
|
|
new players mentioned in advertising websites which were also mentioned on Google's Ad technology list were added also.

WHY USE A MINIMAL BLOCKLIST?

|
|
|
In advertising the number one (Google) has a marketshare of around 40 percent, Facebook the number two hits the 20 percent mark while the
|
|
|
|
|
number three Comscore just has a little over 2.5% marketshare. For comparison Amazon with its huge webstore generates about the same
|
|
|
|
|
advertising traffic on its own website. Number 100 on this list is probably used at 5000 websites of the Alexa Top 300.000 websites, while
|
|
|
|
|
number 250 may only track you on 500 websites of the Alexa Top 300.000 (websited with more than 3000 unique visitors per day).
