EasyList Forum

I have discovered that Goatcounter is in the list of blocked domains:
specifically gc.zgo.at in the "easy privacy" blocklist.

I understand it seems at first glance that Goatcounter is a tracker and is thus privacy-invading but this is not true in my opinion.
https://www.goatcounter.com/why only gathers anonymous data (it pretty much counts the amount of people that visit a page) and it is open source.
Everything Goatcounter does can pretty much be done by counting sessions on a server. I use it as a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics on my blog so I am sad to see it is blocked as if it were privacy invading. If any tracking at all is too much in your opinion I would understand that it would still be blocked but I hope that you can see that it is a project that cares about users privacy and should thus be exempt in my opinion.

We cover all tracking scripts, similar to other opensource trackers (plausible, matomo). Regardless of motive, we treat every tracking script equaly.

Okay, I don't necessarily agree but I understand that you have to draw a line in the sand somewhere.
