We all see that hardware wallet manufacturers are constantly competing for customers, but let's see how much they value our privacy and what are they thinking about tracking.
For this purpose I used Blacklight, A Real-Time Website Privacy Inspector from The Markup website.
Test Subject number 1 -
Ledger wallet website ll Test Subject number 2 -
Trezor wallet website https://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=www.ledger.comhttps://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=www.trezor.ioAs we can see Ledger wallet website has 13 Ad trackers, 17 third-party cookies, they are monitoring keystrokes and mouse clicks, they inform Facebook when you visit their website, and they allow google analytics to follow us across the internet.
Trezor wallet website has 7 Ad trackers, 1 third-party cookie, they are monitoring keystrokes and mouse clicks, they inform Facebook when you visit their website, and they allow google analytics to follow us across the internet.
Nothing to be proud here, but Trezor is winner in this competition and has less trackers and cookies but I think there should be no trackers for something like hardware wallets.
Great example is Bitcointalk forum website with ZERO tracking:
