I have noticed that a warning about Privacy Badger had been removed.

The warning was:

Please be aware that Google Analytics is considered first-party by Privacy Badger, which means that Google Analytics will not be blocked if you do not use another blocker, such as uBlock Origin.

I had added this warning in PR #360 because of issue #335.

I have found out that it was removed silently after a seemingly cosmetic-only commit.

I too agree that the warning should stay. On the other hand, we could also add that you can, in fact, block Google Analytics with PB.

block Google Analytics with PB.

Or better: use uBlock Origin which can do the same and isn't crap

^ what he said - i'd suggest dumping the Badger as long as uBlock/uMatrix are used (along with some other junk like CanvasBlocker, FPI, etc...) - but maybe i'm not thinking about the noobs?

PrivacyBadger is supposed to only block trackers, not advertisements. I can understand sites containing advertisements to get money and I don't want to block wellbehaving ads (even if they are a minority), so I am against removing it entirely without a similar alternative with equivalent functionality.

I assigned @BurungHantu1605 earlier due to author of that change.

there's a lot of lists for uBO - you don;t necessarily have to block ads - you can block trackers and other nasties only, but it's a bit more learning and config-ing for the newbies - if interested though, i'll gladly provide some filter list resources for tracker/nasty only blocking

Or you can just use AdGuard or Blokada or Netguard and block every google (and every other ad, tracking, telemetry, analytics, etc) server at the dns level.

AdGuard also modifies cookies and spoofs your IP - and you can connect to a VPN via proxy.
