This is just a way for Google to go &quot;See! They aren&#x27;t using the add-on. They are giving us consent to sell their data!&quot;

Wouldn&#x27;t using Pi-hole or Adguard work in this case without the need to install a browser extension? These solutions are also more comprehensive because they block Google Analytics for all devices throughout a network.

Does this prevent Google Analytics from working, or does it tell Google that you don&#x27;t want Google Analytics. There&#x27;s a difference.<p>Most sites work with googletagmanager.com blocked. Privacy Badger will block it if you ask, although it gives you a warning that some sites may break. Generally not ones you really need.

We already have uBlock origin for this.

Just a reminder that extensions can be used to fingerprint your browser, so installing this makes you more unique and easier to track. It is recommended to keep browser extensions to a minimum.<p>uBlock Origin, as well as many other ad blockers, can already do this making this extension redundant.

I had this when it was called UBO.

I think that is a 20 year old page and I would test to see if it actually works.<p>Eero just blocks the domains afaik.

Does anybody know how this compares with other &quot;similar&quot; privacy extensions?

I&#x27;m going to assume this is a way for Google to track you in every other way except via Analytics.<p>&quot;Hide your evil&quot;

The Do-not-track setting (header) was just too darn inconvenient to use &#x2F;s
