An Accidental Experiment

First: not sure if this post belongs to this group exactly - however, it does have to do with privacy. So...

I was working on a new update for my privacy browser on Android, Snap Search and improved the ad block tech like crazy. Even more efficient and blocking tons more of ads, trackers and analytics now.
So while I was testing the improvements, I decided to try few news articles.

It led to a full fledged experiment, where I picked one topic all of them wrote about and then did a comparison to see which news website requests the most number of harmful resources.

You can read the whole thing if you're interested.

PS: It is a lot of ads-trackers-analytics. Average of 23 blocked resources out of 15 websites.
