No browser can provide 100% protection if for no other reason than the tracker landscape is constantly evolving as it works to evade our protections. We will re-evaluate our marketing messages, though as a comparison look at how the major browsers market their tracking protections and yet do not even attempt to provide any script blocking, let alone have major holes in their cookie protection (see https://privacytests.org/).

Sure. But this is usually addressed by filter lists.

Very interesting link, thanks. Didn't know that localStorage and sessionStorage could be read across domains!

But the comparison should include (browser)+uBlock Origin. I wonder if there are many users who care about privacy and don't install uBlock Origin by default.

Edit: added Origin to avoid confusion.

uBlock Origin, right? It’s an important distinction to save people searching and installing uBlock.

Yes, of course. I updated my comment, thanks.
