I visit sites by Wiley, Elsevier, and Taylor and Francis a lot recently because I am trying out to do research in a specific topic.

Despite using uBlock, I find that some ads creep through. Also, they have trackers everywhere. How do I go about identifying their trackers?

    Piholes make this dead easy because you can go through a list of connections and block/unblock suspicious ones until you get the right one.

    Without a Pihole I guess some kind of packet inspection? uBlock is pretty in depth tho, it may show you stuff like that and I am just oblivious since I spend more time tuning my Piholes.

    RegEx also works wonders, and I’m pretty sure uBlock Origin supports RegEx

      Just the browser dev tools is plenty to figure out everything going on.
