“Advanced Privacy” app on /e/-os (opensource android ROM) sends me occasional notifications about apps with most trackers haha. Also has a “wall of shame” (it’s literally called that) where you can browse the worst offending apps
While funny, the whole idea of tracking your data enough to give you a wrapped kind of goes completely against everything these extensions are supposed to do.
My suggested alternative is you click the wrapped button and it just says:
It could keep a local count, wouldn’t need to communicate it out. It basically already shows you how many things are getting blocked, it would just be a funny end of year easter egg
Take note that the network request logger in uBO is a forward-looking logger: this means only future requests can be logged.
In the spirit of efficiency, uBO will log entries IF AND ONLY IF the logger is opened. Otherwise, if the logger is not opened, no CPU/memory resources are consumed by uBO for logging purpose.
Oh god, uBlock or privacy badger needs to do this

Yeah a local record of blocked ads would be trivial to save and no need to upload.
It already shows how many ads have been blocked.
“who cares, fuck em”
Well. uBlock does track total blocks
Funny

But it does say right on that page:
Or it could just be made up static data
https://github.com/dhowe/AdNauseam is the closest to this that I know of
That would legit get me to pay them or donate or something. Such a hilarious idea.
I totally want a uBO version of that
