![]() The technique is also discussed in a 2010 academic research paper, "Cookie Blocking and Privacy: First Parties Remain a Risk," by German Gomez, Julian Yalaju, Mario Garcia, and Chris Hoofnagle. Using DNS records to make a third-party domain appear to be first-party was documented previously in a 2014 paper by Lukasz Olejnik and Claude Castelluccia, researchers with Inria, a French research institute. Mozilla says Firefox won't defang ad blockers – unlike a certain ad-giant browser READ MORE Aeris added that DNS delegation clearly violates Europe's GDPR, which "clearly states that 'user-centric tracking' requires consent, especially in the case of a third-party service usage."Ī recent statement from the Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information in Germany notes that Google Analytics and similar services can only be used with consent. In a conversation with The Register, Aeris said Criteo, an ad retargeting biz, appears to have deployed the technique to their customers recently, which suggests it will become more pervasive. So, how is it going to be? Only time will tell.As Eulerian explains on its website, "The collection taking place under the name of the advertiser, and not under a third party, neither the ad blockers nor the browsers, interrupt the calls of tags." But wait, there's moreĪnother marketing analytics biz, Wizaly, also advocates this technique to bypass Apple's ITP 2.2 privacy protections.Īs does Adobe, which explains on its website that one of the advantages of CNAME records for data collection is they " you to track visitors between a main landing domain and other domains in browsers that do not accept third-party cookies." However, the maker of the extension did launch a “permission-less MV3-based content blocker” called uBlock Origin Lite a little while ago, but users are calling it a massive downgrade. Its functionality will cease unless we’re getting a Manifest V3-compatible version in time.īut will we, though? While uBlock Origin currently functions effectively using dynamic filtering to block even complex ads (like the ones on YouTube), Manifest V3’s restrictions on this technique may render it unusable, potentially rendering even other ad blockers ineffective. UBlock Origin, a Manifest V2 extension, faces potential deprecation due to Manifest V3’s limitations. ![]() “Users impacted by the rollout will see Manifest V2 extensions automatically disabled in their browser and will no longer be able to install Manifest V2 extensions from the Chrome Web Store,” says Google in the update. The current iteration, Manifest V2, will be disabled next year, which results in a lot of non-Manifest V3 extensions being killed, too. The reason is that the popular browser has been busy transitioning to Manifest V3, the latest app programming interface (API) that governs how extensions and browsers interact with each other. Well, at least that’s what the social media is being frenzy about at the moment. Not too long after Google-owned YouTube started aggressively warning users to stop using it, the search engine giant reportedly confirmed that they’re blocking uBlock Origin in Chrome. ![]() Google is continuing its crackdown against adblockers. ![]() We apologize for any confusion this may have caused. The error has been rectified for clarity. Correction: The previous mention of uBlock should have referred to uBlock Origin. ![]()
