Mayayana,

| Blocking the "google analytics" domain does not seem to have any
| adverse effects.

Not much help, either, unless you also block their other
sources,

To be honest, I've got /all/ third-party domains blocked (with selected ones
permitted on a site-by-site basis).

But yes, just blocking the "google analytics" domain isn't going to help
much in the whole scheme of things.
