What is g_init="6834"?

Question

Google Chrome

In chrome, the following thing is added to the HTML tag: g_init="6834" +

<script type="text/javascript" async="" src="http://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/watch.js"></script>

<script async="" src="//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js"></script>

There is such a picture even on the local server and only in chrome. What could it be? Maybe some virus tsepanul?

Answer 1

Most likely, this means that before the html tag there is data that is displayed on the screen, for example, through php (a space may also appear due to incorrect file encoding). as a result, the browser itself creates a structure ... and puts here what you have displayed there - it can even be a space, and your main html title head and body already go inside this body tag.
in short, as far as I know, such a g_init="6834" belonging to the html tag means that it is automatically generated by the browser.
or the result of AD Block for example.

Answer 2

This is an extension for the browser "Yandex Elements", specifically the extension "Advisor".

Answer 3

Perhaps some extension is trying to collect statistics in a similar way.
