Comment:
See: https://ieee-
security.org/TC/SPW2015/W2SP/papers/W2SP_2015_submission_24.pdf and there
the introduction (especially the demo) for (additional) arguments against
the blacklisting approach. Oh, and you probably know that Mozilla is
exempting trackers because those are so important that they can't allow
them to be broken (which they would if they just took Disconnect.me's
blocklist): https://github.com/mozilla-services/shavar-list-exceptions.
See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1101005 for all the
breakage due to the tracking protection feature.
