This is great stuff, Im also shocked to see the Analytics file in .kobo/Kobo/Analytics.conf. Whats the deal with all this tracking
Ive added the Spark hosts list from here :
https://energized.pro/#about
and recompiled the KoboRoot.tgz for the update (attached),
Thanks for everyones help on this forum, ive resolved a few issues today with my Kobo Aura H20 that ive been dealing for weeks.

EDIT: i actually just opened the /etc/hosts file of my kobo touch running stock 3.19.5761 and saw this:

#127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net
looks like a kobo developer with a propensity towards general privacy. so naturally i removed all the hashes next to the IPs and also added OP's recommendations of
127.0.0.1 ssl.google-analytics.com
127.0.0.1 google-analytics.com |
