if you share it with others or if your site is popular, it will be added to popular blocking lists before long
Are the block lists sophisticated enough to block it if the Javacript part of the analytics is - say - shared as ‘host-it-on-your-server’ with an arbitrary file name?
I suppose the block lists would just be amended to block the outgoing connections that that JavaScript makes?
But if the JavaScript were obfuscated and routed the collected data through a first-party server that simply forwarded it on to ‘the analytics server’, is there anything uBlock etc. could do to counter that?
