would it be naive to say that sites can get around the blockers by proxying their analytics through their own domain? Isn't the lazy way of sending everything

would it be naive to say that sites can get around the blockers by proxying their analytics through their own domain? Isn't the lazy way of sending everything directly to ga from the client the cause here -- and any thoughtful site owner should be able to circumvent this if they truly care to?

  That's actually (as far as I understood) something ublock origin seems to address in one of their most recent updates. See 1.25.0 release description: > From now on uBO will CNAME-uncloak network requests. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

    That only blocks CNAME-based domains, not proxying. proxying is pretty hard to block unless the request is using paths that obviously go to analytics/trackers.
