[EasyPrivacy] Most recent version of uBlock breaks Stripe dashboard

[kyleconroy]

This is easy to reproduce: log into the Stripe dashboard, and you'll see that an AJAX request to https://dashboard.stripe.com/ajax/api/analytics/bootstrap is now being blocked. This request isn't for tracking purposes; it just returns data for display a graph.

Here's the entry from the uBlock log (it's colored red)

−   /api/analytics/ xmlhttprequest  https://dashboard.stripe.com/ajax/api/analytics/bootstrap

My guess is that a recent update to the default filter set on uBlock somehow caught this URL. Is there a process for fixing issues like this? Or should we just change the URL?

There is a filter in EasyPrivacy: /api/analytics/*.

EasyPrivacy is third-party to uBlock, so you need to contact them for a fix: https://forums.lanik.us/viewforum.php?f=64.

This will also fix the problem for whoever is using EasyPrivacy regardless of the blocker in use (ABP, AB, Adguard, etc.
