Google.com is NOT Google-Analytics.com

cmason

Why would Vivaldi FORCE me to allow Google-Analytics.com in order to connect to Google.com or Voice.Google.com? We run a firewall and cannot allow Google-Analytics.com, so Vivaldi simply gives us a

"This site can’t be reachedhttps://voice.google.com/u/0/voicemail is unreachable.
ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE"

For the few seconds that we did allow Google-Analytics.com, Google and Voice.Google.com was fine and reachable. IS THIS SOMETHING HARD CODED INTO Vivaldi or something baked into the Chromium source code, and if so this is a clear violation and supportive of the Anti-Trust suits going on... Google FORCING all Chromium based browsers/users to allow google-analytics.com!?

@cmason Easylist, which comes both preinstalled and enabled by default with Vivaldi’s internal adblocker, blocks google analytics as far as I know. I can still reach google.com. Maybe voice demands analytics to deliver its service, but the search apparently does not. I don’t think this has anything to do with the browser, but with privacy settings alone.

@cmason First of all: Calm down! Your demanding tone, and use of ALLCAPS, isn't helping your case.

Secondly: I doubt this has anything to do with Vivaldi (or Chromium). Whatever your browser: You block some Google domain names, don't be surprised when Google stuff doesn't work.

LOL ~~uBlock Origin~~ EasyPrivacy even blocks loading of this thread because it contains -google-analytics-

Just funny

On a side note, I'd like to know who is responsible for such a stupid rule in EasyPrivacy - block except on wordpress.org...
