At this point, it's a matter of selectively blocking the remaining 3rd parties which might be deemed undesirable by a user (for example, blocking `gravatar.com`, `fonts.googleapis.com`). Hard mode will actually ensure that profiling by 3rd parties is completely foil, though at the expense of having to fix most web sites. For privacy-minded users, _medium mode_ seems to be the optimal approach. - [No blocking](#no-blocking) - [Very easy mode](#very-easy-mode) @@ -4181,4 +4183,4 @@ The `3rd-party domains` section is _[3rd-party] [1st-party]_, and ordered by 3rd wp.com thechive.com wsj.net marketwatch.com wsj.net wsj.com - yimg.com yahoo.com + yimg.com yahoo.com \ No newline at end of file
