Hi!
Why do Adblock block the urchin.js of Google Analytics? So GA can't count users with AdBlock visting my website .
Best regards from Germany

Many lists block that as a privacy concern, I know mine does.

First, Adblock Plus blocks nothing on its own ... subscriptions do.
Second, both the "EasyList" and "Cedric's Liste" subscriptions do
NOT block google-analytics.
It IS in our optional "ABP Tracking Filter" subscription though (for users who don't want to be tracked).

Personally, it's not the privacy that bothers me, it's the flood of first-party cookies.

All of the above and my own paranoia.

All of the above and wondering why people would rather use JavaScript that isn't executed by spiders when server-side logging works better and logs everything.

If advertisers like it I don't want it
