Google Analytics whitelist on DeviantArt (question)

Post by eighty5cacao »

When and why was DeviantArt added to the list of domains on which Google Analytics is whitelisted?
What symptoms were originally noticed as a result of blocking the script? Is an account needed to test this?

I'm pretty sure the site's design has had major changes since this whitelist was added, for what it's worth.

I ask because I have blocked Google Analytics via my system's HOSTS file and haven't noticed any breakage, but I don't have an account on DeviantArt.

Looks like it was added in https://hg.adblockplus.org/easylist/rev/062f846cd54e but it doesn't say what exactly was broken...
