YSK: The Guardian, Wired and The Verge websites has more trackers than other news websites.
I think those websites are over using trackers in their websites for extra profit with no care for the privacy of their users, I highly recommend avoiding them.
Good post OP, you've raised an interesting problem. Private frontends for all these news sources would be incredibly useful.
Since it'd be counterproductive to post privacy-invading links to a privacy community, i'll keep an eye on what people post, and encourage alternative links from now on. Thanks for posting this
