Urchin.js won't go away?

[Guesty]

On top of Adblock Plus, I use the JSView extension, which easily helps me view javascript/css being implemented on sites, both internally and externally.

I notice that usually once I mark a site untrusted with NoScript and block the script with adblock plus, JSView no longer detects a script.

The only thing this doesn't seem to apply to is google-analytics' "/urchin.js" script.

Any ideas as to why that is?

I've forbidden google-analytics, googlesyndication, adwords.google.com, and googleadservices in noscript, and used the following filters to block them out.

*google-analytic*
*googlesyndication*
*adwords.google*
*googleadservices*
*urchin.js

Heck, I even use CustomizeGoogle and have it set to block ads, don't send cookies to google ads, and anonymize the google uid.

Yet urchin never goes away. Any ideas?

If you open the list of blockable items (click Adblock Plus icon or press Ctrl+Shift+B) - does urchin.js show up as blocked (red) there? If it does, then this script definitely doesn't load and the problem is JSView then.

Actually, hte script https://ssl.google-analytics.com/urchin.js doesn't show up in the adblock blockable/blocked list at all, as blocked, whitelisted or blockable. Just not there. Maybe the problem is jsview, who knows.

Then Adblock Plus doesn't get it at all - maybe because of NoScript or some other extension you have installed.

Keep in mind that some sites host urchin.js locally on their servers; so your filter list doesn't compensate for that aspect.
