Was going through some things on my iPhone after the newer updates and found out that Safari blocked 4 trackers on this forum website……was just on for 10 minutes, wonder how many there would have been if I were to be on longer……and I never use google for anything on the innerweb

Additional steps I would recommend:

Install and use AdBlock
Select "Do not track" in your browser settings
Use Duck Duck Go as your search engine
Use a good subscription VPN

There's more, but the above is a good start.

Download DuckDuckGo app

Is that update iOS 16 or one of the iOS 15.x.x updates?

I use a combination of Firefox and Duck Duck Go for this very reason.

Could those trackers be related to clicking on member posted links? Google was 3 of the trackers in your list and I can't help but think that is possibly related to watching a link like a YouTube video or possibly an article.

Oh this place deposits stuff. Most websites do though. That's why besides the very good info above, I log out and clear all website data after every time I come on here.
