NewsBlur is a major part of my day-to-day interaction with the network. Everywhere else that I have a choice, I consciously block adtech, surveillanceware, third-party analytics, etc. I've got Privacy Badger, uBlock, and lately even NoScript installed.
My browser probably isn't letting a lot of the client-side surveillanceware through, but I'd feel better about NewsBlur if it weren't even trying.
(Another way to phrase this might be to ask that NewsBlur respect Do Not Track - my client is definitely sending the DNT header. But I'm well aware that DNT is pretty much a dead letter at this point.)
