I love how the CSS and JS in the site cannot function without the HEAP JS lib. Huge fan of Ghostery, and if you use it, the site looks like a 'heap'. Similar problems with a lot of sites and Omniture, take USAir. You can't book a plane ticket without downloading Omniture's JS. Come on folks, let try for some graceful degradation.
- yefim 13y agoGet off your high horse.
- matm 13y agoSorry about that - Ghostery seems to wholesale block any JS requests from the heapanalytics.com domain, which will of course break our site. This issue only applies to our domain (heapanalytics.com). Keep in mind that your own website will not break with Ghostery if it has Heap installed.
- cespare 13y agoI'm not sure why you think websites should cater to you if you're using plugins that disable browser functionality.
- icebraining 13y agoIf anything, because Ghostery blocking a request is indistinguishable from any number of connectivity issues that may occur outside of the user's control.
- twistedpair 13y agoTouche on Ghostly blocking all Heap requests, didn't realize they did that. However, other sites still irk me like the Omniture cases. Is it so hard to confirm functionality before you use it? Plenty a corporate internet blocks lots of these JS libs/API's and if you're not writing fault tolerant code, folks are going to wonder why site X does not work and just use site Y instead.
