The lower the number of these 3rd-party domains, the better. @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ My opinion is that the direct measurement of the number of distinct 3rd-party do uBlock Origin (uBO) and Disconnect required no extra configuration steps. Other blockers required configuration. The one requiring the most for that benchmark was Adblock Plus (ABP). -![Privacy benchmark graph](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/uBlock/master/doc/benchmarks/privex-201502-16.png) +![Privacy benchmark graph](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gorhill/uBlock/6c046ed95cd02d023453c66f766159f6410ae7f7/doc/benchmarks/privex-201502-16.png) Caveat: the definition of a "3rd-party" is a domain not matching the web page. 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 using no blocker.
