[Instance issue] lightbrd.com uses analytics and doesn't proxy many of the requests #1209

Using uBlock Origin's overview panel to see what domains lightbrd.com connects to (screenshot) we can see that it uses Microsoft Clarity for web analytics (clarity.ms).

Another thing that I'm less sure about is that it connects to Twitter directly (all the twimg and twitter domains; which appear even if no GIFs are present [e.g. when searching for users] when video proxying is disabled, so it appears to load all pictures without proxying them.).
And video proxying doesn't seem to work either (the dualstack.video.twitter domain connections). While GIFs are totally borked and also make the same domain connections even with proxying enabled.

Generally seems like a quite broken and messy instance (in terms of privacy as well as functionality)

Hello,

Lightbrd getting 1m bot/scraping request at day.We are trying detect and block that traffic.Cloudflare a good tool for that.After some change at firewall we added clarity for 1 hour to understand real&bot traffic.You can't see any tracker,analytic tools at regular time.

Yes we are not proxying medias from Twitter right now.It's working laggy because of Cloudflare servers.We will fix that problem with a CDN service soon.Thank you for using lightbrd.
