I would love to use and pay for your service, but it's inexcusable than a service that charges $100+ / year has so many trackers that uBlock shows 87 elements blocked just in the account signup flow (/signup/connect-spending-account).

A financial info aggregator is the one place where I would appreciate NOT having my data and behavior exfiltrated to third parties.

Apparently revenue model is more important than a lot of things.

Hmm would be curious to know which block lists you have.

I'm only blocking 27 things with most of them being Split.io (for A/B testing I presume) Sprig, Stripe and Sentry.

Those aren't really third-party trackers (even though I am blocking most of them) in the marketing sense..

There's some analytics from Tiktok, Clarity, Reddit and Spotify(??), which make sense to block but don't feel that intrusive if they're tracking inbound referrals.

I don't even see 50 other things that I could be blocking.

Not arguing the point here, just wondering what I'm missing since I try to keep pretty extensive block lists myself.

This is completely inexcusable from a fintech company. It shows me, as a potential customer, that they're not serious - either they're trying to get acquihired or they have no idea about privacy.

My count might include additional elements from going through signup flow with their bank connection providers.

My lists are:

  - uBlock
  - EasyList
  - EasyPrivacy
  - Online Malicious URL Blocklist
  - Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list
  - uBlock filters – Annoyances
  - AdGuard Annoyances filter
  - pl: Oficjalne Polskie Filtry

Yeah, if my bank started embedding those on their account page, I would GTFO.
