@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ measurement of privacy exposure. The number of requests blocked is no guarantee
Measuring directly the number of distinct 3rd-party domains which were hit is a much better and relevant measurement for comparison of privacy protection efficiency in my opinion.

Caveat: "3rd-party" is defined as a domain which doesn't match the domain of the web page. 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.
