Good point. After using uBlock Origin for a while now, "ads" have become synonymous with "tracking scripts" to me. I'd bet Google's adblocker wouldn't block Google Analytics from running, like uBlock does.

You can get a plugin to block Google Analytics right from Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Definitely they won't. I'm sticking with uBlock.
