3. **An** [**anti-tracking technology**](https://0x65.dev/blog/2019-12-19/blocking-tracking-without-blocking-trackers.html), which blocks third-party cookies and also detects and prevents fingerprinting attempts. [The methodology we use to power this feature](https://whotracks.me/blog/how_cliqz_antitracking_protects_users.html) is unique and you will not find it anywhere else.
Around May 2020, Ghostery added the option to [block annoyances](https://github.com/ghostery/ghostery-extension/issues/504#issuecomment-630304421) as well. Ghostery uses a mix of community-driven lists such as uBlock Origin annoyances or EasyList cookie, as well as some custom filters.

Around May 2020, Ghostery added the option to [block annoyances](https://postimg.cc/30BX3Xp8) as well. Ghostery uses a mix of community-driven lists such as uBlock filters — Annoyances or EasyList cookie, as well as some custom filters.
uBlock Origin is a content blocker (and a very good one, [Gorhill](https://github.com/gorhill) is doing an amazing work with uBO), but blocklists have well-known limitations which make them an imperfect privacy protection tool (i.e. because of slow updates, limited coverage and exceptions for some domains/requests to not break websites), which is why an approach like (3) is desirable.
