    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:

    "Fucked if I know! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

    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

    But it does say right on that page:

    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.

    "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

    The "Login teminder popup remover" userscript works well for me. Additionally to an adblocker of course.
