See the attached image for a comparison. This breakage is caused by the blocking of js.gleam.io, which is classified both as a Fingerprinter and a Tracker.

Flags: needinfo?(senglehardt)

This breakage was resolved by Gleam migrating their anti-fraud fingerprinting code over to a new domain (i.e., fraudjs.io). See https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/commit/a0403914453915e600719c75846e1594f1cbb0c0.

The fraudjs.io domain is currently only on content-fingerprinting-track-digest256 (meaning it is not currently blocked by Firefox's fingerprinting blocking), but will be added to base-fingerprinting-track-digest256 once https://github.com/disconnectme/disconnect-tracking-protection/commit/f4099a5d0913f96c340a95f94f72c5238562bbb2 is merged into Firefox's lists.
