themarkup.org/blacklight, I put in a few sites, including a full Reddit post URL and it reported 0 trackers. Does this site work well, are there other sites for seeing trackers on websites that work well?

If it finds 0 trackers on Reddit, it does not work. Why don’t you just install a tracker blocker extension to your browser and see what it says instead?
I have UBlock Origin, I assume that one that one is good?
The best. Its count should be accurate.
As the other person said, UBlock Origin is the best.
When looking at Fox, CNN or NY times, the cookie count looks realistic, but nothing else does. I refuse to believe these sites don’t use any other methods.
