dc.js fallback if blocked by AdBlock #62

Is there a way to automatically fallback to ga.js if dc.js was blocked?

Do you have evidence that AdBlock is blocking dc.js ? I have seen discussions on implementing this, but there are not so many reliable ways to detect that some adblocking system is active and dc.js not loading

This page: http://www.analyticsresults.com/2013/03/doubleclick-remarketing-and-adblock-our.html suggested a workaround.

Do you mean AdBlockers in a generic manner or AdBlock specifically ? AdBlock isn't known to block dc.js

Some adblocker load the js but disable functions... there are a diversity of strategies that you need to detect. Plus you need handle properly the case where window.onload already has events attached to it
