Cant believe these two issues are present for so long.

Issue 1 faced on both desktop and mobile: If I go from one site to another, the previous site is able to embed tracker in it. Example: 1) Go to territorial.io . 2) through the ublock origin extension, see that there are no trackers or connection to third party. 3) now go to reddit.com . 4) In url type territorial.io and press enter. now check ublock and notice that reddit tracker is there. 5) Most concerning is that even search engine does that. for example go to duckduckgo and type territorial. click on the link and the duckduckgo tracker will be there. The "privacy respecting" search engine embeds its tracker to a shit ton of websites clicked through it. Not an expert but doesn't this violate something like same origin policy?

Issue 2 faced at least on mobile: private browsing means all cookie and stuff is deleted when the private session is closed, but: for example: 1) go to private mode. 2) go to monkeytype.com. 3) reject or accept the cookie. 4) close the browser. now it should be wiped but 5) open browser (private tab opens by default) 6) go to monkeytype.com again. a lot of times it will not ask for the cookie banner. 7) close the browser and go there again. 8) now it will ask again. I have noticed similar behavior in a lot of websites, where they remember who I am. But as soon as I open the browser and close it once, the cookie/session is truly wiped. This does not happen every time, but a loooot of time.

Thank you.

P.S. why the hell is this website using googletagmanager and sentry??? use something like https://plausible.io/ if you have to. sentry themselves use https://plausible.io/

Re #1:

How are you verifying the tracking content? Is this what you see listed on Firefox's Tracking Protection drop-down (shield icon at the left end of the address bar)?

If you only see it on uBlock Origin's drop-down and not Firefox's drop-down, could you ask on r/uBlockOrigin or other relevant site why there is a discrepancy?

Re #2:

Firefox for Android is hard to kill -- simply swiping it out of recent apps won't do it. You need to set up cleaning of at least one kind of private data (such as cache) at shutdown to enable Quit to appear at the bottom of the menu. Using Quit should truly end your session. See: How do I quit Firefox for Android?
