If you control your own "DNS" this site does not access any of those different domains. I do this, for speed and reliability, not privacy. When I access this site, the only domain my client accesses is "thistooshallgrow.com", which is hosted on squarespace. That hosting company requires a UA in addition to Host and Connection headers otherwise no others are required. Most sites do not require a UA header. I like to control the headers I send, too. Not for privacy; I just like the control and minimalism. This site, like most any site, works just fine for me in a text-only browser. I read the same content as anyone using a "modern" browser, minus the ads, tracking or other nonsense. I see no irony. Except perhaps that you are using a browser that defaults to enabling those automatic accesses to different domains, a browser that is in fact supported by the web advertising industry. You need an extension to modify the program's behaviour to block ads, etc.
