The `3rd-party domains` section is _[3rd-party] [1st-party]_, and ordered by 3rd parties. This allows you to assess how much some specific 3rd-parties are able to create a profile of your browsing history.

Notice that in medium mode, most 3rd-parties are actually auxiliary domains which are related to the 1st-party, which means that actual profiling by 3rd parties has been foiled to a great extent. At this point, it's a matter of selectively blocking the remaining 3rd parties which might be deemed undesirable by a user (for example, blocking `gravatar.com`, `fonts.googleapis.com`, etc.) Hard mode will actually ensure that profiling by 3rd parties is completely foil, though at the expense of having to fix most web sites. For privacy-minded users, _medium mode_ seems to be the optimal approach.
