Sadly, some of these list don't currently include google-analytics.com since some sites would otherwise break as a result. So when using one of these hosts files it's often a good idea to double check whether they include Google's domains first.
(Also sad to say that GA is so big that a lot of websites/app rely on it)
- moviuro 7y ago> some sites would otherwise break as a result Wow, that's weird. I don't remember ever seeing one site like that. Can you point one out? I mean, GA has been blocked at my places since 2015, and I don't remember anything ever was broken, on phone or desktop.
- odensc 7y agoCan't think of any specific sites, but it's happened to me a few times. It's usually because there's bad code that's waiting on the GA init function before doing anything else. This is why some blockers like uBlock Origin stub out the Google Analytics interface.
- driverdan 7y agoIt happens. If they add older GA tracking code in other JS and don't try / catch it will throw an exception when GA is blocked. When I find a site with this problem I go elsewhere.
