    Isn’t the tracker pixel really old news hy now?

    I’ve never even been to the Facebook website, at all, ever. When I first heard of it I knew it was bad news.

    Like you, I’m sure they still know lots about me

      I think “metal pixel” has just become what they call their trackers, not that its an actual pixel any longer. I could be wrong but I’ve heard references to the “meta pixel” for enough years after most companies switch to JS or other methods that I jumped to conclusions.

        I so want to build a proxy that strips stuff like this, host it on a RPi with PiHole. Maybe a proxy could essentially apply a filtering CSS?

        Do enterprise level firwalls/IDS/IPS have some capability Ike this? Seems it would be the thing to do, ensuring some security against phishing.
