 > For those who don't know what it does: "Protects you against tracking
 through "free", centralized, content delivery. It prevents a lot of
 requests from reaching networks like Google Hosted Libraries, and serves
 local files to keep sites from breaking. Complements regular content
 blockers."[1]

 What exactly is the tracking vector here? Note as well, that there is no
 single exit relay that gets all the user's browser traffic to see as the
 content loaded and the exit used is bound to the URL bar domain.
