Comment (by gk):
Mike pointed me to https://webkit.org/blog/8311/intelligent-tracking-
prevention-2-0/ which has among other interesting features a tracking
redirect detection mechanism:
{{{
ITP 2.0 has the ability to detect when a domain is solely used as a “first
party bounce tracker,” meaning that it is never used as a third party
content provider but tracks the user purely through navigational
redirects.
}}}
It would be interesting for us investigating whether that is something we
could/should use as well. After digging a bit it seems this is
implemented in the open source WebKit part. E.g.
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=182664 seems to be relevant and
the whole Resource Load Statistics part.
