I think those websites are over using trackers in their websites for extra profit with no care for the privacy of their users, I highly recommend avoiding them.
For comparsion:
- Associated Press(AP).
- Al Jazeera.
- ABC.
- BBC.
- CBC.
- DW.
- France24.
- Sky News.
- The Register.
- Tech Policy Press.
Update: added Wired and more websites for comparison.
I was a Guardian subscriber for a while until I looked at their “partners” that they were sharing my data with through the app.
You can use their RSS feeds to avoid a lot of their tracking.
All news sites should be consumed via RSS. Their front pages are the equivalent of social media algorithms and you only see what they want to show you. When you use RSS you get a list of news in time order and see news stories you would never see on their website because of how fast they drop it from their front page and bury it in menus.
Viewing through archive.is is another great option too for bypassing paywalls.

You can read most of The Guardian without JavaScript.
You can read the other websites without JavaScript as well.
Also, that might not stop all the trackers, as the webpages are loaded with their trackers.
I read it on terminal
From Europe they’re actually better than the other news sites you list here. Either way, I’m using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.
2 things:
they’re actually better than the other news sites you list here.
What you are saying does not make any sense unless you did not click the links to see the amount of trackers in the tests.
Either way, I’m using ad-blocking, DNS filtering, and I do general browsing like this in a separate browser that wipes everything on exit sooo 🤷 saves you from worrying about this stuff or even thinking about it much.
Yet you are using Lemmy instead of Reddit? Which means you kind of understand fully that the tools that you are talking about does not protect you 100% , rather they just reduce the amount of trackers tracking you.
Also it’s pretty dystopian to support the websites that violates people privacy, instead of using the websites that basically provide the same product with better privacy.
I in fact DID click the links and change the filters on the tool to test the europe sites. Try it yourself next time.
And sorry but no, the Guardian, The Verge, and AP news, etc do not provide the same products. I simply choose to accept the reality we live in and deal with it.
