When attempting to open the website I was greeted with:

                     uMatrix has prevented the following page from loading:
    
    https://blog.logrocket.com/the-easiest-way-to-keep-your-web-apps-accessible-c2b57506cc2a
I never blacklisted the website on uMatrix[0] myself so I checked the list of hosts files I'm using. It's apparently part of Peter Lowe’s Ad and Tracking Server List[1]

[0] Obligatory "How do you know someone uses uMatrix? They'll tell you"-joke. I know, I know... mea culpa

I added logrocket.com to the list after reading about how Roku uses it to track information about user networks, etc:

* https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/97an7p/ysk_r...

They also describe their service:

> LogRocket lets you replay what users do on your site

ie, they track everything you do when you visit a site using their service.

I've updated the entry to just block this instead:

    logs.logrocket.com
If you update your filter lists, you should be able to get to https://blog.logrocket.com/.


I usually read HN comments before reading the article, I read your comment and checked the other tab - Ha same thing for me

I did a quick Google search on them, It's kinda ironic

>LogRocket helps you understand problems affecting your users, so that you can get back to building great software.


How is that ironic? It sounds like the problem was self-inflicted.
