I see this more frequently, sites are adding dependencies on third-party Javascript for tracking, and when they are unresponsive (or blocked with something like Ghostery) the site's functionality breaks.
This is especially worrying for e-commerce sites, you don't want to prevent people adding things to the cart and losing orders.
- jakub_g 14y agoI've seen that a couple of months ago on the page of a big airline. Since I had google-analytics.com domain blocked in HOSTS, it took me a while to realize the issue. However it was the only time it happened to me in many years (other than deliberate "please disable adblock to see the page"). Very soon they redesigned the whole page and now it works fine.
- graue 14y agoWas that United Airlines? A few months ago their reservation site broke for me with AdBlock/Ghostery. I just used a different browser entirely, but in retrospect I suspect it may have been Ghostery's fault.
