Does anyone know if AdBlock really blocks tracing (stat) programs like Google Analytics and Reinvigorate?
Seems like it lets some things through for me.

All AdBlock does is stop things from being displayed in the browser window. It doesn't stop the browser from retrieving those things from the server, as far as I understand.

But statistic things aren't displayed?

If you've listed the widget or script or whatever in AdBlock, then it won't be displayed.
The site will certainly still record your visit, or whatever it is the script does.

If it's not being displayed though, how will it record my visit?

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't running.
Have you tried googling this? This is just my understanding of how the plugin works.
