|    x The number of connections to domains classified as being used for trackers but a given list means very little.

x You should figure out what's actually making the requests which are being identified that way. It could be
from web browsing where EasyList + EasyPrivacy don't block those because it would break functionality but
another list being used to evaluate the requests considers them trackers. In general, it's not going to consider
the most privacy invasive requests made to an app's own servers to be trackers because it's used for the
functionality so it doesn't mean much at all.

     x As an example, a bank's services are privacy invasive because they track all of your payments and everything
     else they can see. They often provide a lot of the data to third parties including selling it. Whether or not
     their app uses client side analytics and telemetry connecting to a few domains dedicated to that which are
     considered trackers doesn't matter much. It's the difference between extremely privacy invasive vs. surface
     level things which tend to not matter much.
