unblock mc.yandex.ru / the devs are not able to use webvisor #402

Closed englishextra closed 7 years ago

englishextra commented 7 years ago

mc.yandex.ru is the host for counter script that records user pointer/keyboard events

https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/watch.js

by Yandex.Metrika

which is a major competitor of GA.

Perhaps a regular user may not want that, but a webdev that use Session Replay by Yandex.Metrika wont be able to see what their visitors where doing on their sites, and thus the whole service is useless.

So, please, remove, or at least:

# [yandex.ru]

# if U use Yandex.Metrika, comment-out mc.yandex.ru 
0.0.0.0 mc.yandex.ru

as for an.yandex.ru yes it hosts API and script for context ads. This very item and others with .yandex really never bothered me.

Hi @englishextra, Google Analytics is blocked too. That's the whole point of this.

Closing.

@englishextra, while Steven is correct, I do believe you are raising this issue because you are perhaps not aware of how this project works and of all of its features. If you would like to build a list without specific domain names, there is a "whitelist" feature included with this repo which you can add domain names to and they will be omitted from the final result. If you need more help with that, please feel free to ask further. We will be putting together some docs later and all such Q&A will be extremely important for guiding its direction.

Gosh, thanks for mentioning Google.

@ScriptTiger Yeah, I need to build it. Now it's clear, seems to be a bit too much for a web dev machine setup, thanks.
