I think those websites are over using trackers in their websites for extra profit with no care for the privacy of their users, I highly recommend avoiding them.

For comparsion:

Update: added Wired and more websites for comparison.

You can read most of The Guardian without JavaScript.

You can use their RSS feeds to avoid a lot of their tracking.

All news sites should be consumed via RSS. Their front pages are the equivalent of social media algorithms and you only see what they want to show you. When you use RSS you get a list of news in time order and see news stories you would never see on their website because of how fast they drop it from their front page and bury it in menus.

Viewing through archive.is is another great option too for bypassing paywalls.

From Europe they're actually better than the other news sites you list here. Either way, I'm using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.

I was a Guardian subscriber for a while until I looked at their “partners” that they were sharing my data with through the app.

uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger plugins in the Firefox browser have me feeling relatively secure with most regular internet traffic.
