For sure many +domains reported as "3rd-party" actually belong to the same entity which owns the page domain (for example, `yimg.com` is owned by `yahoo.com`). There is no way for the benchmark code to know this, unless using a comprehensive database of who owns which domain -- that is beyond my means. Still, the benchmark is useful if comparing blockers among themselves, or against when no blocker is used. + Results -- figures are "**3rd party** / all". Ordered from least 3rd-party hits to most 3rd-party hits. Privacy-wise, lower numbers are better. #### µBlock 0.2.1.1
