  Which is great except that it constantly breaks websites.

    Yeah, that’s going to happen. The features that make website useful are the same features used to track everything. It’s a sliding scale from usability to privacy. The further you go in one direction the less you get from the other.

        That all sites constantly try to harvest your data as much as they can, so much that when you use a browser that inactivates all or most of those features it will render those sites unusable.

        Of course there are also sites that just break for another reason, but that should be a minority. My opinion, no source, in case you ask.
