ToS;DR awards the Internet Archive a C grade (their grades ranging from A for the best services to E for the worst services), and one of the reasons given is “You are tracked via web beacons, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, and/or device fingerprinting”. I often see people in the privacy community opening websites through the Wayback machine to avoid being tracked. Is the Internet Archive privacy-friendly or not?
