 A common task in web privacy measurements is to determine which web requests correspond to the benign loading of required web resources and which are used to track users. There are two main methods for such classification: matching requests against crowd-sourced lists (typically used in ad-blocking or tracking protection extensions) or using machine learning (**ML**) to classify the requests based on their context and request URL. A common task in web privacy measurements is to determine which web requests correspond to the benign loading of required web resources and which are used to track users.
