I see that as well, but I think that they are clusters.

My theory:
Sometimes when you unblock one thing, more show up that were dependent of that thing that was blocked, I guess PM has them organized as a set.

Note:
I really do not understand the concept, but as long as trackers are blocked.

Hi!

Well a "tracker" is a small code made by websites for exchange data across places. For example Facebook put some info in your computer (via cookies) and other websites can track at least you login name and last time you was on Facebook, if you played some game there or shared a photo, etc. This can be a nasty behavior in the long run since they can track the pages you visit and make a profile with info without tell you what they store from you.

Now the question: The codes tracks browser version/plugins/addons/location/time/etc as well and put only what they can get info for. Example: Geolocalization is not available in older browsers, so "bugs" that track "geolocalization" just don't load if they cannot get any info to pass around. If you block some Google trackers, all others that need them are blocked in cascade (google+, google custom search, youtube, etc), some trackers need a "Double-click" tracker for check which ads serve to you, etc. So the number of trackers depends of several factors indeed.

My suggestion: If you really do not need to share stuff in social media from other pages, you may like to just ban *all* bugs.

Actually maybe they get confused for the user agent, some forums and pages have that trouble sometimes. Let's compare! :D
