Ironically, ublock origin does not work on this blog page & allows scripts such as google analytics to run because it is hosted under the umbrella domain addons.mozilla.org I wish the exception for add-ons not working on the addons site would only apply to the actual add-on download portion of the site, and they don't host random non-addon-download content on the same domain.

Or that Mozilla wouldn't serve that crap. They should know better, after all they even make their own blocker.

  They do know better, which is why they don't. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697436#c14 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=697436#c14 If there is an "obvious" problem, chances are it has already been addressed and you are not the first person to see it.

    > We now have two check boxes in our GA premium account that allows us to opt-out of additional usage of our data. Because Mozilla pushed Google so hard, those two check boxes are available to every other GA user in the world regardless if they have a premium account like we do. GA also doesn't track IPs or store PII within the tool. I'm very confused. How the hell does Mozilla have enough lobbying power with Google to strong-arm them into providing an option for every user to undercut the very data collection Google provides GA for?

      Possibly they brought out the GDPR-hammer to force their hand.

      By taking credit for a wider initiative Google was already pursuing. It wasn’t just Mozilla pushing for it.

    But this assumes you trust Google. Why would you trust an entity whose business model is against your interests and who has the ability to hide their misuse of data (given how many factors go into ad targeting, it's impossible to prove whether a particular ad was targeted based on data collected legally or not) and is big enough to successfully fob off privacy regulators (their consent flow is still not GDPR compliant)?

Wait, there's a way around this. Open a new tab. Enter about:config Search for this specific line: extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains Remove any entries you feel offend. I personally clear the whole list out, no website should bypass my addons.

  I just did this on my Linux box where Firefox is my daily driver. The only domains listed were firefox or mozilla ones.
