Comment (by gk):

 While reading some recent and older papers about tracking on the internet
 and defenses against it it occurred to me we should update our No filters
 section pointing to these papers and explaining our point in more detail.
 We should somewhere mention as well that it is hard to make the difference
 between non-tracking and tracking third parties as some approaches try to
 do. But I think this road is a dead-end as well which we should not go.

 Some things to consider:
