Expected Behavior

What does this api call? If this api call isn't necessary, could it be removed?

This is related to #105 :)
The blocked request is coming from Firefox built-in tracking protection.

Since we use it internally in Schibsted we wanted some basic tracking to know if people were using it or not. But we should not really bundle pulse/Cis in our open source version. So there should be logic to bring your own trackers or disable pulse

So we would love for anyone to contribute to #105, but it is also on the radar for the frontend re-write I am trying to do in #215
