What is left which is of concern? This is what you need to argue. And for whatever actual cases you put forth, you will have to further argue why current filtering capabilities are not sufficient.\r\n\r\nI am just going to be straightforward here. I don't want the issue tracker to be a place to dump thinly researched feature requests. Meaningfully contributing means more than dumping a one-sentence idea in an issue tracker.\r\n\r\nYour other issue was pretty much nonsense. When I asked you to provide actual cases, you sidestepped the question and gave me a link to Google Analytics reference API.\r\n\r\nWhen I pointed out that `data:` URI are not resulting in network requests, you answered something about `base64` -- which also means nothing.\r\n\r\nWhen you focus solely on image size, you miss the point that image resources for tracking purpose can be of any size, just small enough to not be a burden, that small image sizes are not a sure sign of tracking, and there are other resource types which could be used for this, stylesheets for example. In the end, nothing that is out of reach of existing filtering capabilities."}}
