As far as I know it's the easyprivacy list that is causing the https://docs.google.com/static to get blocked. I've tried white listing it but it still gets blocked. Am I missing something?

I don't have a Google Drive account, and even less a spreadsheet on Google Drive. Do you have a link to a shared demo spreadsheet on Google Drive so I can see where it breaks? Never mind, looks like if you have a Google account you have a drive. Looking into this.

[gorhill]

Yes it is EasyPrivacy, the filter ||docs.google.com/stat|$xmlhttprequest. So the solution is to either not use EasyPrivacy (not good), or to use an exception rule. To enter the exception rule, go to Ubiquitous rules in the dashboard and enter:

@@||docs.google.com/stat|$xmlhttprequest

In the "Your block rules" field. (it has to be the "Your blocked rules" field, as I just found out the "Your allow rules" field doesn't support ABP filter syntax).

You can make the exception rule specific to Google Drive if you still want to benefit from this rule elsewhere. To make it specific to Google Drive, enter this instead:

@@||docs.google.com/stat|$xmlhttprequest,domain=docs.google.com

Fixed indeed that rule fixes the issue. 😃 Thank you

[gorhill]

I've submitted the suggested fix to the EasyPrivacy crew.

Ok, I just realized my implementation disregard the trailing |, there is no problem on EasyPrivacy side. I need to fix this.
