As I replied in the other comment, if you don’t want to be targeted or a single cycle of your machine to be used by developers, don’t open their website. no more foxes in the house :)

Not sure I see a reply to another comment of mine!
>> Don't open their website
Sure, or just don't allow them to load these things.
Honestly I'm moving in the direction of not visiting. Instead of a useless do-not-track header, I'd much rather send a "will-not-render" header. I'd be quite happy to tell your server that under no circumstances will my browser be participating in tracking or even rendering your ads. If you'd rather not serve me the page at that point then cool, lets go our separate ways.
I imagine a company like uber eats, who I am actually trying to pay when I visit their site, might still like to serve me the page. Ad-supported content less so.
I don't want to be targetted.
> So it’s just good karma to let them run ...
No. It's my machine, not theirs, they don't get to use it to track me. Not one single cycle. It certainly isn't "good karma" to allow advertisers free reign like that, it's letting the fox loose in the hen-house.
