<![CDATA[Question about Opera's builtin ad blocker]]>Hi! The other day, I noticed Opera was updated to the latest version on my mom's Ubuntu 14.04 system. I took it for a spin and was checking out the builtin ad blocker. neat. 🙂

I went to some sites I maintain and Opera reported blocking some ads, even though there were no ads on the sites. So, I did some reasearch, opened up the Developer console and saw the Google Analytics script was being blocked as an "ad". I looked in the default ad blocker settings and "*.google.com" (I believe) was listed a domain to not block.

Any ideas on why the Google Analytics script would be blocked as an ad?

Thanks!
