My preferences are: EasyList, Easy Privacy and ||google-analytics.com^
Sometimes I have to turn on javascript in a few sites. And I have two questions about that.
First: I had to add myself the Google Analytics filter. Is it correct? Am I really blocking Google Analytics w/ the filter above?
Second: When I turn on javascript in a web site that has Google Analytics the filter really works or the fact that javascript is on means that GA will works on this specific situation?
I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing. It seems that the filter I added is okay. Also, when javascript is on in a web site that has GA, the filter appears enanble on ABP. But sometimes it does not show this information.
I want to know what you guys think.
Thanks.

Re: Javasript on and ABP
1) Yes, you need this filter if you want to be absolutely certain - EasyPrivacy will not block it, it will only prevent it from sending data back to Google. This is because many popular websites break without that script (back when this filter was used it had to contain a huge number of exceptions).
2) If you block Google Analytics script it is blocked - it won't even be downloaded, no Analytics code will run.
