Thanks, privacy is always a concern but also something I have largely given up on. Which is definitely sad. I just thought it funny that aa.online-metrix.net seemed pretty bogus. On well. I remember the days when software companies (I worked at one) had strong polices prohibiting their software from communicating back to the company without user's explicit consent. Those days are long gone.

Some of the "bogus" domains are simply one of the hundreds of domains that resolve to the same resource, and belong to the same ad company, usually to circumvent adblockers and such.
