Note that using this blocker list can actually increase first party tracking if it blocks a properly configured user respecting consent management platform.

If it blocks the form then permsission hasn't been given, so if it is properly configured they won't be tracking you.

Not all consent managers are just forms. Some of them contain enforcement technology and some block lists do not differentiate between the forms and the enforcement technology, even when the consent managers make it easy to differentiate and block individual components.

For example, the manner in which Brave blocks Transcend Consent Manager can increase first party tracking due to Transcend Consent Manager being blocked in its entirety.
