Are you sure no IP address is sent whatsoever? |
Adjust is click tracking and campaign tracking. Why shouldn't it be blocked? The user can bypass the block screen if they want to. |
Asked and answered yourself. |
Ok well, seems pretty drastic to me to block whole websites. Especially in a tags, src I'd understand but Anyways thanks for your quick responses and your point that the user can bypass it makes sense, one would hope all users understand what they are doing and where this is coming from if they use your blocker :) Cheers |
@ThibaultJanBeyer Two things real quick:

Hey @pgl, |
@ThibaultJanBeyer OK, so when uBlock blocks the tracking redirect, they are then aware that they're being tracked in this way (which they may not have been before), and they also get a clear option to permanently allow it if they choose. This is one of the primary purposes of uBlock Origin and other blockers. I do understand that it prevents behaviour that's useful from your perspective, and sorry for the inconvenience, but putting agency back into the hands of users is, I think, important. |
Sorry for being late to this. From Blocking |
Hey @ryanbr, I consider this a bounce tracker so for now I'll leave it on my list. If someone supplies a more specific list of subdomains, then I can replace the main entry with those. |
https://app.adjust.com could replace adjust.com if you want to prevent the clickthrough @pgl |
@ryanbr Hmm - there seem to be quite a few other subdomains that are available: https://subdomainfinder.c99.nl/scans/2021-06-25/adjust.com

Describe the issue
Well. Adjust is in the blocked list. So even a link to the website like that:
Is blocked when the user clicks on it.
I believe that this is faulty. Since adjust is a click tracking tool. We use adjust to wrap our links, something like this
https://app.adjust.com/<our-code>?redirect=https://<some-website>
. That gives us anonymous metrics on how many times the link was clicked, not even personal info on the user or something.Seems heavy to me that an adblocker blocks harmless URLs even on a user-initiated action like a click on an A tag.
