@SergeyZhukovsky - Let me know if the description answers your question. I can add more details if needed. |

How will that dat file apply to our existing list? Will it be a separate list or concatenated list? |

@SergeyZhukovsky - This will be a separate list, the feature is independent of the existing tracking protection feature but will be part of the same component as the intent |

Fix brave/brave-browser#2980
Description
Smart tracking protection (or STP) will help block 1p storage trackers that are used to profile users (see: https://webkit.org/blog/8311/intelligent-tracking-prevention-2-0/) . This feature is in PR for brave-core brave/brave-core#403. StorageTrackingProtection.dat will be used by tracking_protection component to check if the redirection chain (on click the user goes through a list of intermediate domains before landing on the final domain) has any trackers.
If the user has tracking protection enabled for a domain, STP will check if the urls in the redirect chain are storage trackers and block access to the Storage APIs (localStorage/sessionStorage/IndexedDB/WebSQL) for the storage trackers.
Initial list is populated from the blog post: https://brave.com/redirection-based-tracking/
Going forward this list will be generated by the crawler that @snyderp worked on.
