Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/charlesabarnes/SPFtoolbox/issues/52

https://spftoolbox.com/ my adblocker and tracker blocker are blocking a bunch of stuff. Like:

ajax.googleapis.com
bootstrapcdn.com
maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com
googletagmanager.com
www.googletagmanager.com

Why are they needed?

They aren't needed exactly. Bootstrap is for some styling helpers. I am consuming this from CDN just to avoid having to maintain the dependency in the repo.

Also I use google analytics for analytics tracking. Not super necessary, but useful for me to identify what regions site visitors are from. This enables me to invest in CDNs in the relevant areas.

Functionality still works if those scripts are blocked, so feel free to continue blocking them.

Ok I use it via Yunohost so I host SFTPtoolbox myself, and I'd like to entirely remove these https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/spftoolbox_ynh/issues/11

googletagmanager.com remains, according to uBlock Origin.

Thanks for the heads up @Hillside502 Thought I had automatic deploys enabled on the new host.

If you check again, it should be gone
