Assets blocked by uBlock origin

[AMDG2]

uBlock origin is blocking asset loading because of the 'analytics/js' inside the path.

Firefox Console:

uBlock Origin Logger:

I will try to find which list contains this filter.

[Rello]

hello,
Thats really an interesting finding. but this will be the reason for #6 also
not good

[AMDG2]

EasyPrivacy from https://easylist.to/ contains this filter. I think it is a very common list so it is very probably included in other adblockers or privacy tools.

Maybe you could change the app name ?

@nickvergessen
a widely used block-list includes a filter for /analytics/js$script
this is where my App is being blogged.

I think it can be avoided by using a different subfolder than /js for the scripts.
Do you have an idea if this would be possible? because all the Util::addScript('analytics', 'app'); depend on this folder. can a different subfolder be used via parameter?

thank you

[nickvergessen]

You can have subfolders inside js/
But you can not replace js/ I think.
Maybe you can detect it and recomment to disable ublock for your own nextcloud, or you rename your app again to e.g. data_visualization

[Rello]

@nickvergessen a rename would mean a new app release because there is no rename process available, correct?
for the remain, the <id>analytics</id> would be the one, not the <namespace>Analytics</namespace>, correct?

[nickvergessen]

yes, <id> needs changing, but that value must match the folder name and the entry in the appstore, and .... (exactly the reason why Talk is still running with the appid spreed 😿 )

@nickvergessen
Yes, I could include a start screen message in my App to disable AdBlock (and hide this message via js, if its working)

But it seems a workaround if we are planning for a wider use of DA.
DA has 200users already. They need to be informed to install the new app.

I think about ‚data_analytics‘.
Later enhancing with modules like ‚data_extraction‘ or ‚data_reporting‘

[Rello]

@AMDG2 the implication of changing the app is quite some issue. can you confirm that uBlock can be disabled for your NC-Domain only to make Data Analytics work?

[AMDG2]

Yes, for sure. My guess is that it would be the same for adblocker users with any nextcloud instance. Usually they don't have any tracking or advertisement on Nextcloud 😅 so it should not be an issue.

[Rello]

thank you for your feedback.
I am in contact with the creators of Easylist already. In parallel I am implementing a proper warning page

After deactivating uBlock, I hope you enjoy Data Analytics
