You need to block Google Analytics too. Google makes a lot of money with their Analytics. Google offers analytics services for free to all web sites. About 99% of all major websites uses Google Analytics.
When you land on a page of a website that uses analytics your browser loads urchin.js from google analytics. You can find this in your the page source code.
“http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js“
Example on Free Republic you can find this script loaded at the bottom of the page. In Edge and other browser right click view source then search for urchin.js. Look at the source code for a couple of the main sites you visit, you will be surprise.
Google can track your movements on the Web from Web Site to Web site using the urchin.js script. They collect your IP Address, Location, browser fingerprint and other stuff.
When you visit Free Republic then visit Fox News then some other website like a social media, Google will collect enough info to identify you in day or two.
Did you know this info about you is available for the right price?
Just out of curiosity, I clicked on the link you provided for Google Analytics. I get a page indicating that uBlock Origin prevents the page from loading. Is that sufficient protection, or are there additional steps that should be taken?
