By default the Tracker Radar includes domains for many popular websites and apps that you may wish to use on a daily basis. If you do not set any _exclude categories_ then your output may result in 'undesirable behaviour', i.e. your favourite website/app may stop working.\n\n**For example, github.com, google.com, paypal.com, etc would all be blocked if we included every single domain.**\n\nBy default we have chosen to exclude any domain that matches one or more of the following categories: CDN, Embedded Content, Federated Login, Non-tracking, Online Payment, SSO.\n\nDepending on your personal preference or concerns you may wish to filter on different [categories](https://github.com/duckduckgo/tracker-radar/blob/master/docs/CATEGORIES.md).\n\n\n## Future improvements\n\n - Generate different types of output (domains, hosts, regex)\n - Improve the way that we filter domains in or out of the list\n\nAny help on these gratefully received! :-)\n\n## Source data\n\nThis project makes use of the Tracker Radar data from DuckDuckGo is [licensed](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/duckduckgo/tracker-radar/master/LICENSE) under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frto%2Fphased-array","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frto%2Fphased-array","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frto%2Fphased-array/lists"}
