Nominated for the most classy comment of the month. That the product manager of The Guardian would take the time out from his (no doubt) busy day to help a user to block tracking is an amazing display of trust in that the user knows best what is good for them. Thank you.

It's more like he knows that helping one single user like this isn't going to make a dent in the tracking they do on virtually all other users.

Now, if they voluntarily stopped tracking all or a significant portion of their users, I would be shocked.

Of course, that isn't going to happen.

Of course there is always a way to put a negative slant on just about anything.
