Google Analytics and Internet Explorer 8 - internet-explorer-8

I know there are news about
Google dropping support of Google Analytics for Internet Explorer 8 by end of the year
or has already dropped.
But what if I want to continue using Google Analytics for my website and give compatibility in IE 8 too.
Has anyone has a way to work around it???
Thanks in advance.

"As a note, we’ll of course continue to measure traffic from IE8 browsers to your website."
You won't be able to use the admin interface with IE8 (no way around that), but that should harldy be a problem. Data will still be collected from IE8 (and previous).

Microphone Permission on Firefox Mobile not permanent

I am facing an issue with our web tool that I am unable to solve. I already tried to google a solution but failed to find one.
We have a website where we use JavaScript to record audio from the users microphone via getUserMedia. The first time the user enters a html page on the https website, there is a notification popping up about permission rights. Thats fine, but on Firefox Mobile it doesn't matter if you gave your permission already, you will be asked on every single page again. Thats not the case for every other browser we tried.
So, is this some kind of our error or is it a limitation of Firefox Mobile?
Hope anyone solved that issue already in the past.
Best regards,
Daniel
It's a limitation in Firefox for Android (fennec). It intentionally asks users each time.
It's being solved in the next generation version, available in beta as Firefox Preview (fenix). The prompt there adds this checkbox, similar to Firefox for desktop:

Google Games Services works okay, but Russian players can't connect

I have an issue with a few games that I made.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.menesapps.senet2
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.menesapps.ur
(Don't know if I can give these links, for if not, don't hesitate to moderate).
I use Google Play Games Services for Unity for leaderboards, achievements and saved games and it works fine. But I often get emails or reviews from people from Russia saying that they can't connect to the game and after checking with them, there is no issues with the app.
GPGS do everything correctly but it fails to connect in the end (see screenshot).
Anyone have any idea why this happens?
Thank you for your time.
You may want to check Troubleshooting Issues in Your Android Game.
If you are unable to sign players into your game, first make sure that you have followed the instructions to create your client IDs and configure the games services. If you still encounter sign-in errors, check the following items to make sure that your game is set up correctly.
And, for additional insights, you may also see this GitHub post.
Sounds like this is related to the Play store or Play Services vs. a programming question.
I'd suggest contacting Google Play developer support. On the Play console, click the questionmark (help) icon on the top right and then at the bottom "Contact us".
IMO your games isnt publised for Russian country. Check you google developer console.

Is it possible to put Google Chrome into a "extension free" mode?

Is there a way to temporary deactivate all (or selected) Google Chrome extensions? This would be handy when I debug pages, since some extensions (eg. AdBlock, Clickable Links etc) modify the content of web pages.
Also sometimes I want to monitor how a page loads via the Chrome developer tool's timeline. But since extension-activity also is recorded it can get a bit messy.
Thank you!

Sorry guys. I should have done some better research before posting here. I searched in chrome web store and found this extension, which seems to do the thing. Sorry for bothering you.
This solution was discarded since a better suggestion was given (see accepted answer).

How to run the Google Gears extension on Firefox 4?

I am running Firefox 4 beta for testing, and unfortunately Google hasn't updated their Gears extension for Firefox 4. At this point, it even seems that Google might not update Gears for Firefox 4. Do you guys know of any trick to get Gears to run on Firefox 4?
(For reference, here is where you can download the OS X XPI for Gears.)
Google have explicitly deprecated Gears; they no longer support it (as of about a year ago!).
They have switched to focus on HTML5 and other related new browser features. In effect they're saying that all the functionality provided by Gears can be done using HTML5.
Here's a link to an article about them dropping it (but there's plenty of others if you google for it):
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2009/11/google-gears.html
The down-side is that not all browsers do support all the HTML5 features that are needed to replicate the Gears functionality, so by deprecating it they've cut off support for some browsers. Chrome is fine, of course! But the other browsers are catching up - certainly Firefox 4 should be fine.
A lot of the functionality provided by google-gears is becoming part of html5 - firefox has implemented local storage since 3.5.
Modernizr provides api detection - but not abstraction - I imagine there may be some out there on the internet (Google Gears / HTML5 has only recently appeared on my radar). So far I've not found any way for an html5 app to create a desktop shortcut though.

Getting embedded google docs viewer to work under IE 7,8

Wanted to throw this question out to see if there's been any solutions as the Google Doc viewer is amazing.
Creating an iframe with an embedded Google Docs viewer does not work in IE 7,8.
https://docs.google.com/viewer
Does anyone have a work around?
I have the same problem, but didn't think it was acceptable to have to ask users to add the URL to their trusted sites in IE.
Luckily I came across the following post:
The embedded version of Google Docs Viewer (gview) will not load its images correctly if third party cookies are disabled. This problem is an issue for most IE users as by default it will be disabled. Below I provide a work around to this problem for at least until google adds a p3p. The original discussion of the issue can be found at google docs help forum.
I've tried this out and it works in IE8, IE7 and IE6.
I just tried an iframe targeting https://docs.google.com/viewer in IE7 and it is working.
But I have ChromeFrame installed in IE - maybe that's the reason it is working for me!
I tested displaying PDFs in Google Viewer with IE8 with following settings.
