feature_request(service): remove AddToAny from blacklist

[Kristinita]

1. Summary

It would be nice, if AddToAny service will be removed from Firefox blacklist. At the time social buttons of service block in Firefox (beginning at Firefox 63) by default.

If I need to make another actions, that AddToAny buttons works for Firefox users with Always value of Trackers key, please, tell me.

2. Example

• Simple AddToAnyButtons on Codepen

<!-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
<div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_floating_style a2a_vertical_style" style="left:0px; top:150px;">
<a class="a2a_dd" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share"></a>
<a class="a2a_button_mastodon"></a>
<a class="a2a_button_diaspora"></a>
</div>
<script async src="https://static.addtoany.com/menu/page.js"></script>
<!-- AddToAny END -->

3. Expected behavior

If Only in private windows value of Trackers key:

Buttons are shown:

4. Non-expected behavior

Else Always value of Trackers key:

No buttons:

5. Argumentation

5.1. Do Not Track

Privacy Policy from official site:

Do Not Track (DNT):

    + When a supported browser's DNT header is enabled, we prevent tracking across sites where AddToAny is used.
    + For example, we disable Like & Tweet buttons to prevent Facebook & Twitter tracking when DNT is enabled.
    + See our full Do Not Track Compliance Policy.

Full Do Not Track Compliance Policy in AddToAny site.

5.2. EFF

As user, I use Privacy Badger of Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) for tracking preventing → Privacy Badger allow AddToAny:

Firefox support EFF blacklists.

5.3. Disabling tracking

See on my Codepen pen:

a2a_config = a2a_config or {}
a2a_config.no_3p = true
a2a_config.track_links = false

This code prevents any tracking:

• AddToAny JavaScript API
• AddToAny: removing the “spy” from the share-ware

Thanks.

Hi. Can you please file this request in the upstream repo from Disconnect? https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection

Thanks.

@groovecoder , I wanted to do it first, but counterarguments:

1. Summary

That repository has a note better contact with users. Perhaps is little chance that I will get an answer.

2. Some argumentation

1. Most issues not answered from March 2018

   

2. None of pull-requests were closed by repository collaborators.

---

But OK, I try.

Thanks.
