Rachel Maddow Blog vs. Privacy Badger

Wow. I recently installed privacy badger from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://www.eff.org/privacybadger)

It tells you about trackers that are on web pages. Trackers send information to other websites that allow them to track your web browsing history.

I installed it as an experiment to watch what places had trackers. Privacy Badger doesn't catch all of them but I thought it would be intersting to see what sites I visit have trackers, and I could see which trackers they were.

After less than a week, The Maddow Blog has been the winner with 13. Ouch. I thought they'd be around zero.

Ouch.
