Please modify the default rules with are shown in the fresh installed plugin that they block most of the "risky behaviours" instead of filter them.

For example:

  • in the "Stop Facebook's outgoing link redirection service tracking" rule, the proposed valuse are:
  • TLD: *
  • Types: Any type
  • Action: Block
  • in the "Stop Google search link tracking", set the TLD to " * ", instead of listing all possible TLD's and action to "Block"

This way it would realy prevent it from working (filtering does not fulfill it's role)

Additionally, I propose to change the "Block ping and beacon" into "Block threads" and set values to:

  • Pattern: All URLs
  • Types: BeacStop Google search link trackingon, Ping, Speculative, WebSocket, Web Manifest, XBL, Other
  • Action: Block

And so on

Pattern: All URLs
Types: […] WebSocket […]
Action: Block

WebSockets are used by a lot of sites. Blocking them by default means there will be a lot of "This add-ons break the internet" issues => a lot (new) users will test this add-on and uninstall it.

I had used above only as examples to demonstrate my idea and make it easier to understand ;-)
