I don't know about "problematic", but ISTM that it might be useless. If people disable sendBeacon in an effort to avoid tracking, then the trackers can always just test and polyfill with XHR. If you really want "disable tracking", you're going to have to do a lot more, and probably break a lot of the web. --Richard > > Gavin
