New York Times and "Statsig"
Posted: Tue Dec 10, 2024 2:18 am
Recently I've had issues with certain things not working on the NYT website.
Sometimes the account login button that normally appears at the top right of an unauthenticated page session does not appear at all.
And now it re-prompts me for login in order to comment on an article, and even then it doesn't work.
The only new domains I noticed are "prodregistryv2.org" and "featureassets.org" which appear to be part of the "Statsig" analytics platform.
Can anyone give me any insight as to whether the lack of JS permissions for such domains would actually break the site? In my experience with analytics platforms if they are blocked in the browser there are usually no significant user impacts.
Thanks
