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.
