- throwaway3699 5y ago... and there are half a dozen ways to get around that too. You could proxy everything through a function that base64 encodes everything. It's an arms race. Besides, I was talking about my server directly sending data to Google Analytics without JavaScript on the client side. GA has strong adherence to GDPR so there's no legal or privacy issues I can see with that.
- jayd16 5y agoThis isn't detected automatically though, right? Someone would have to reverse engineer your setup and add it to the lists?
- a13n 5y agouBlock does detect this automatically, without reverse engineering your setup and adding it to their lists. This assumes you self-host analytics.js and proxy GA API requests through your domain without changing path/query. If you manage to reverse engineer analytics.js and change the path/query AND proxy through your own domain, then this likely wouldn't be detected. But there's a chance that Google will make changes to analytics.js that aren't compatible with your reverse engineering it, and your setup breaks.
- rendall 5y agoYou're not thinking this through. Any request can be proxied. Ublock won't block GET requests for `index.html` or other assets, nor even random POSTs to `/detail` from button clicks and such
