Mobile Trackers Your Ad Blocker Doesn't Know About

I compared AppGoblin's list of the top ~300 mobile app endpoints with a couple ad blocker lists and was surprised that about 30% of the endpoints I found were in neither and 66% weren't in each individual list.

I think the next step I have is to start checking which pieces of data (ie Device Information, Location or Advertising ID) were sent to the endpoints.

Sharing here if anyone is curious. All AppGoblin's code is open source, feel free to ping if you have questions.
