Blocking Google Analytics #1789

Closed jeepish closed 2 years ago

jeepish commented 6 years ago

On Symplicity's CSM product https://www.symplicity.com/higher-ed/solutions/csm, our students (I am an IT director for a university career center) are reporting that when using uBlock they are unable to see the legitimate content (job postings). Instead they see a blank content area and the content: {{Base.sectionTitle}}

We are not seeing this problem with other ad blockers (tested AdBlock and Ghostery), only uBlock.

The only external scripts on these pages are Google Analytics -- no ads of any kind.

And how much support do you exspect to get a place like this, with your bad intention of infecting you student computers with google spyware??

fhferreira commented 5 years ago

Not, i will only track if they access my site through the Adwords and use this data into conversion funnel

I have no issue with blocking Google Analytics. Block whatever add-on content you want. However, any blocker of any kind should not block the content of the page. If the blocker can't tell between the content the end-user is trying to consume and extensions, scripts, or trackers, then the blocker is failing its designed purpose.
