I so want to build a proxy that strips stuff like this, host it on a RPi with PiHole. Maybe a proxy could essentially apply a filtering CSS?
Do enterprise level firwalls/IDS/IPS have some capability Ike this? Seems it would be the thing to do, ensuring some security against phishing.
You can find routers and what not with various PiHole like software. If you're comfortable with network engineering then you can certainly write NACLs and the like to blacklist tracking networks.
Stopping them at the browser level is also reasonably effective. EFF's Privacy Badger is a must have extension for me.
